swapping CD/DVD writers

[Digitelle]

I am trying to salvage the hard drive and DVD reader from an old G4 and put it into a newer one. I don't want to remove the CD writer in the newer G4. Can I somehow pull off the front of the computer and put the DVD reader in the slot underneath the CD writer? There is only a panel there now, there is no other data reader in that place.
Thanks
Digitelle

You should search apple.com for a knowledgebase article about installing drives in your particular model. Installing drives is a common issue and apple.com will have plenty of documentation.

Check this out. Not the prettiest of solutions and probably a bit more care needed but it does show it graphically.
