I don't think that you're the sort of user that we're worried about. What I'm really worried about is a newbie coming in with a brand new machine still under warranty and us trying to plug in a NIC and squashing some pins on the PCI connector or zapping the motherboard with ESD and the machine mysteriously never works again.
No unless I *know* that the user is a fully informed and unwarrantied user then I reckon we don't open up any machine.
