Want to upgrade the RAM in your mac Mini? You can definitely save a few bucks by buying a stripped down Mac Mini and upgrading the RAM yourself. But before you can install that extra RAM, you’ll need to take a walk down to your local hardware store and grab a couple putty knifes. Thanks to the Mac Mini, the putty knife is now becoming part of the standard set of essential computer hardware tools.

I just did this to my new mac mini. It is very nerve-racking cracking open the case. You have to be very careful not to mark the case. The hardest part for me was taking out the four screws. I used a blob of Pritt Stick to keep the screws attached to the screwdriver. It was fiddly as hell and one of the screws never went back in! Still, i got it done in the end. Phew!
