New iMac with Flat Panel hard drive question

[Kluster]

I require information on the new iMac with the Flat LCD Panel. I want to know what kind of hard drive it has. I'm talking about physical dimension. Anyways, here are my questions:

* Is it a standard IDE 3.5"?
* How do you open the little bugger?

Cheers,
Matt

Yes, standard 3.5" IDE HD. The 'little bugger' has screws on the bottom, there's instructions from others, here's an example http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/iMac_g4/imacg4_takeapart.html. <note> if you're not too mechanical, don't attempt, take this to an Apple service tech!!

I'm technical. I've been building PC and working in misc. other types of plateform for over 5 years. I haven't had the chance yet to work on this new model or even physicaly see one... And since some one I know wants me to install a new hard drive in to his machine, I wanted to make sure before I got my hand in unfamiliar territory.

Cheers,
