Can anyone tell me if I upgrade my HD in my own imac if Ill void the warranty? I have applecare for 3 years on it. If it would, is there anyway around that? What options are there for upgrading your mac short of buying the overpriced hardware from apple? Will they install hardware you provide for a price??

I would appreciate any help.

Upgrading the hard dive yourself will surely void the warranty. I think you can have them install the hard drive, paying to the service of course. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Sounds correct. I don't speak from experience with an iMac, but that was the case with my MBP, which also has a user non-servicable HDD. You have to pay them a service fee for the upgrade. If I remember correctly, if I provided the HDD, if it needed replaced, I would have to pay the service fee again, whereas if they provided the HDD, the service would be free if it needed replaced while under AppleCare.
