The CD drive slides out of the metal frame - I'd try another generic IDE DVD drive, it's not worth pulling apart and repairing if faulty.  I'd also look into putting a nice fast 7200RPM IDE hard disk in there at the same time, to give your iMac a big boost in performance - the stock drives were very sluggish.

Will any DVD drive fit in there? I mean, the front of DVD drives for PCs generally have a front plate that may be larger than the one the iMac can take due to the flappy door of the case. Am I wrong on this?

How much should a generic DVD drive will cost? 

I paid 35$ for the iMac itself, so it better not cost too much! :)
