CANADA? eh?
Ok..so i have an emac g4-255mb(just got 2 (256mb chips) never put in yet)-60gig running 10.4 (just got it) and now just got iLife 06) and then i have an 80gig external hard drive..so its like 140gig of room..but i only have a cd burner and dvd drive...would it be cheaper to install an new internal drive? or pay more for the external(cause there is no hard installation)..what drives would work? and i have a $200 dollar gift card to bestbuy or futureshop(whatever my grandpa gives me for b-day..next week)

no please go to http://www.bestbuy.ca or http://www.futureshop.ca and what ones would work for external and internal and is it that hard to upgrade the internal on an eMac...thanks so much for your help

I'd suggest an external, I have one and it is great because I can use it with my macbook, mini, or even a pc...great to have that versatility.
