If you have a) the knowledge and b) the parts (which you have also spent time looking for and purchasing). Neither of those usually applies to Joe average, and thats me. Therefore its easier to buy it done already.

And I remain curious about why it is that non-Apple device users feel compelled to come into an Apple forum to virtually speaking, thumb their noses at Apple users.

We like our gear, and really, it doesnt matter a damn why.

Non-seamless built computers with visible or intuitively hidden screws - macs don't have these - make it a bit easier to do when access to the Internet has been taken away.
Ever looked at the underside of a Mini? No? Thought not. It has a huge plate which is easy to remove, and which exposes most of the innards. And most mac users I know have more than one device.

The thread has gone way off topic and if I was a mod, I'd close it. I'm not, so I can't. But I wont be back. I'll leave you nose-thumbers to "discuss" amongst yourselves
