Oh yeah, my USB to IDE adapter is also translucent blue. So is my Teac USB floppy drive (which recently died, but I bought a NOS one of the same model).
Fun fact, all of these devices came from the same store (except the Grape iMac).
I have a bondi imac too but it's unfortunately dead, it chimes but it will only turn on if i hook up an external monitor. I guess that the flyback in it is shot since it has been the common issues with those macs, they had flakey flyback transformers. I replaced it with a Power Macintosh 6500/250 which still works to this day but the Quantum fireball HDD died in it so i replaced it with a seagate hdd that works. I had to sell the Apple USB keyboard and hockey puck mouse since the 6500 does not have USB. I like the mac but sadly it's beige instead of the cool translucent color.
