I upgraded my ram to 1GB with the excellent help of Smash's World video and PDF. http://www.smashsworld.com/2005/01/t...ini-how-to.php
My problem is putting the thing back together.
There are little metal pins located below the ports on the inside of the computer that snap in behind the case. These ports are protruding (or so it appears) thus not allowing the case to sit snuggly together. The rest of the case is tight, just an openning where I can see these pins.
I read the thread from mac_attack in which he broke one of the pins. I don't want to do this.
Any suggestions about how to close the case with out breaking these pins?
Thanks.

It took me a couple tries to get mine lined up. That's really the trick, making sure you get it lined up just right before you try to snap it together. I know that's vague, but the best I can give you (i'm tired)
