My Problem

I purchased the stock $799 2.3GHz i7 and wanted to give it a little boost, granted even in stock form it's much faster than my 2008 17" MBP. So I added a 250GB SSD using the dual hard drive kit, 16GB RAM and shazam.... killer Mac Mini on the loose!

My Fix

The repair was a breeze... using the install instructions provided by iFIXit! Step by step notes and photos made the install very doable even with having to "gut" the mini to install the 2nd drive.

I was a little nervous at first having to pull the logic board and other parts, but if you "read before doing" and follow the steps it was really very easy.

My Advice

One BIG TIP!!!!!!! Make sure and get the fan connected well when putting your Mac back together. I was lucky because a 3rd party software on my unit notified me that the fan wasn't running before any damage could be done!

Now I own a killer Mac Mini (maxi)
