Just double-checked... the connector on Apple's adapter has the exact same connector as the one in the eBay link above. So it looks like it should be easy to use the slot-load CD-ROM in a PC with that adapter.
Haha, sweet. I don't know when I'll get my LCD, that's all that's holding me up at the moment, really.
Mine's the "Indigo" one... it looks blue to me. My colour of choice as well.
