Im in the market for one of the new iMac's and i was trying to figure out how to get the best deal. Since buying upgrades from Apple is so expensive i was wandering if the hard drive and /or ram on the iMac is easily upgradable?
I have been a P.C user for a while and built my current pc from scratch so i kinda know what im doing.
However i dont want to void my warranty or anything just to save a few bucks.
Any advice from someone whos done thing before?
Indeed, the components are standard and the same as in the PC world: 3.5" S-ATA hard drives, ATA optical drives, PC3200 DDR-RAM...
As you can see on these Apple DIY (Do-It-Yourself) PDFs, opening the iMac G5 is very easy (even the 4 screws remain attached themselves to the lid pane once unscrewed!) iMac G5 17" model:
