[QUOTE="Matt Russo, post: 1578891, member: 323522"] I have a mid 2011 21.5 IMac, that i just replaced the harddrive in. Mine went bad so i got a seagate 2TB hybrid drive. I watched the OWC videos bought some suction cups from home depot and had a computer tool kit all ready. Changing the harddrive took all of 30 mins maybe. I had zero issues and it was no where near as difficult as people make it out to be. As for the fan, you can get a program that controls your fan (tricks your apple) into running at a safer speed. It just depends what you are willing to save on. I have been a PC guy forever and i all ways want to upgrade my computers, so i do. I do have experience building PC's so the scared factor isnt really there for me. [/QUOTE]
