Other World Computing (OWC) not only has a great selection of Macintosh hardware products at decent prices, but they also have taken the time out to produce some easy-to-follow videos on installing the hardware in your Mac.

Here’s an example of a video showing how to install a Parallel ATA hard drive into G4 AGP ‘Sawtooth’ & ‘Gigabit Ethernet’ Macintoshes:

Installing a Macintosh Hard Drive

OWC offers each video in various different resolutions (High Quality, Medium Quality, Low Quality, and Modem Quality). Depending on your bandwidth restrictions, I would suggest the highest quality video, since the video is easier to view. The video above links to the medium quality video.

The only drawback to using video to explain how to install hardware is that if you only have one computer, you cannot watch the video while you are installing the hardware. I typically watch the video from my PowerBook G4 while doing the hardware installation on another computer. Using the video pause button, allows you to stop the video, while you complete the step just explained to you.

Here’s a list of computers which have videos for installing hard drives (linked to the medium resolution videos):
