I just upgraded 3 Mac Minis (did i pay some royalty to McDonalds when i purchased those … lol) with 1 GB Ram and a 5400 RPM Fujitsu 40 GB/8MB cache (a 7200 rpm drive would increase only about 10-15 % more but cost almost twice).
150 U$ extra but those MiniMacs are rocking cheapo SuperMacs now.
It was a piece of cake to open the cases using the putty knive, just handle with care same as you should handle women. 2 sturdy but friendly “clacks” will reveal all the inner secrets and – man are those guys good!! – !! Well not pink inside but blue – my favoured color; a zillion little silver coloured ants crawling all around.
I’ve got USB aluminium housings for 9 U$ a pop which fit into a chest pocket, perfect data carriers those left over, slower drives!
By the way after changing the drive, i packed the “old” drive into a 9 US$ aluminium USB casing, restarted with the OS X CD and instead of installing the system new just opened Disk Utility from there, formatted the new drive, restarted again with OS X CD and with Disk Utility now run “restore” so to mirror the “old” drive’s content into the new drive – it was a bit faster than installing the system all-over.
