This thread and an older one were both helpful for me, but I found a video by OWC that ended up being even better. If you can watch video while installing new RAM in your Mac Mini I highly recommend this:

I think the video is better because it shows you how to open the case and remove the drive with fewer disconnections than the guide above.

Apple will not upgrade mac minis and according to them, upgrading it yourself voids the warranty. Which means opening it at all voids it.

That's not correct. Apple won't cover any damage caused to the machine during the upgrade but doing an upgrade will not void your warranty. This is stated in their warranty documents and has been verified a number of times with Apple employees, even with the new 2010 models.

I've talked to several different apple reps and employees that told me even opening it will void it and the mac minis are not ment to be upgraded. I even showed them what the apple site says and the warranty thing and they said it the upgrades are only for made to order products meaning you can custom order a mac computer with a certain amount of ram and hard drive space.

The reps at the apple store also said that they do not upgrade mac minis. They are set as is.
