Before I consider selling it, though, I've gotta fix that optical drive. I was just looking at the Service Manual, which says that if the bottom plastic casing is removed and not put back on exactly right, it can prevent discs from ejecting. So I'm hoping someone did just that at some point in the past - would be a heck of a lot easier than yanking the drive and trying to clean it...

The size of the HD suggests it's been disassembled. I don't know about the later models, but I disassembled a Rev A once and I seem to remember having to take it apart pretty much completely to get to the HD and that.
