and installed one, and then noticed that the fucking thing doesn't have an eject button.
is there a shortcut or some other way to eject the cd drive on a g5?

drag to trash.

yeah, i know you can eject a disk that's already in it that way, but what if it's empty and i want to put a disk in?

F12 ?

f12 doesn't work either.
is there a menu or app somewhere in osx where i can do it manually?
if there was i could program one of the keys on the keyboard to do it

nathan cant you preset the keyboard buttons to have a side function to open and close the cd-rom drive thru the "key caps"

if you are up to 30' away why would you need to bother with inserting a cd-rom?
