[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1012707"] Everyone has different levels of mechanical skill and "comfort." I personally find opening the Mac mini to be no big deal, BUT getting down to the RAM is a bit PITA unless we're talking about the original G4 models. There are several tiny wires that have to be disconnected (and then of course RE-connected!) which for a guy like me with big fingers is a bit of a challenge, not to mention the screws are in kind of difficult locations on each corner -- hard to get good lighting down there for screwing them back in when you're done. Have a look at the guide and if you don't feel comfortable doing it, have a tech do it. I've seen people "guillotine" those little wires and that is definitely bad! [/QUOTE]
