Really, the new mini's are that easy to get into? I wish i realized that when i owned one briefly, and they screwed up my order and shipped me one with 4GB in stead of 8GB of RAM. But their customer service sucked and they tried to doctor the invoice to show i ordered 4GB nevermind that they charged me for 8, btw never do business with macmall. And i did end up getting a sweet deal on a refurb top of the line iMac so it all worked out in the end. The iMac's i know is pretty easy to get access to the RAM slots. Don't try adding another HD or anything telse to those though, as it would involve using sucktion cups to remove the screen to get to the rest of the internals.
