I'm about to do this

Make sure you partition your 60gig and install your system stuff into the first 8gigs. So partition your drive 8gig/52gig.

I have found that Lite-On it drives seem to work for installing OS X on my beige bomber. I purchased a Norcent 52/36/52 drive at Best Buy for 19.99 (after rebates) Works flawlessly!. I had gone through many different attempts at installing OS X on this machine - Removing G4 upgrade processor, firewire card, ram hard drive, zap pram etc. EVERYTHING! Always went to the black screen. I can now install OS X with all of these upgrades in place - and fast as hell! 52 speed vs. 8 speed with my old apple drive.

I would suggest everyone pick up a CDRW made by Lite-On It.
