Yes, I want to do it myself. I already upgraded the RAM and the hard drive to 2GB and 120GB, respectively. I realize this is harder, but I want to be able to burn DVDs, and dual layer, as well. I also don't want to pay what ifixit wants for a drive, either. They gouge pretty badly, IMO. I saw a buy it now auction on ebay for the same model drive that ifixit sells the other day. It went for less than half of the ifixit price. I was thinking that I could realize greater savings by using a cheaper brand/model.
