[QUOTE="Deanster, post: 135780"] My local Apple store (Seattle- University Village) just happened to have an Airport/BT kit on the 'returns' table in back last time I was there - I got it for $79.99! They said free installation was included, just as with a new one, but as I (obviously) didn't have the mini with me, I could call to schedule a time to bring it in - they said it would take 1/2 hour. I just did the upgrade myself, choosing to ignore the 'warranty voiding' issue, and it was very easy - the only part that took a little extra effort was getting the antenna wires in their little slot next to the drive module connector. The airport works super nicely, and the BT seems fine, though I haven't really given it a workout yet. So, along with the overclocking I described in the Mini Overclocking thread, I now have a 1.58Ghz, 512mb, Airport+BT Mini for the $499 I paid for the 1.25 Mini, $79 for the Airport/BT, and $50 for the 512Mb stick. Total of $630 + tax. Makes the new 1.42/512/80G/Airport Mini for $599 look great! [/QUOTE]
