I wanted (have to) replace my Hard Drive in my computer, does anybody know what type of Hard Drive the iMac G5 2.0Ghz uses? (SATA, 3.5", etc).

...And does anybody know of any good places to buy them online, in the UK?

3.5" SATA.

www.ebuyer.com is the best place. cheaper than Dabs and a whole lot less hastle.

Thanks for the reply Bigandy,

But I went to ebuyer, but there seems to be many different types of 3.5" drives. (1/3h etc).

Will this Hard Drive do:

That is a good drive. Seagate has a good reputation for reliability and quiet drives. If you're unsure of drives I suggest you check out Storage Review for reviews. And as long as you get 3.5" SATA is is compatible with the iMac.
