Good luck.
That's all I can say.

Is is worth your while to contact MacTracker with the details?

Both machines do indeed also have the CD/DVD-RW DL SuperDrive and /not/ the CD-RW/DVD-RW ComboDrive like the 2003 model. Mine is with a Pioneer DVR-117D, which Apple began to use in late 2004 and my friend's is with a LG DL drive that Apple used in 2004 and up into mid 2005, where they dropped the LG because of too many problems and switched to Pioneer or the Sony OPTIARC. A few of the last G5s (2,5-2,7ghz) came with a Matshita DL DVD instead...
