Hi Jim

I've had to do this for a customer and had the same initial vision as you did.

However, it ended up being a really simple upgrade. Just flip the box
onto it's side (carefully of course !) on something stable and raised
enough that the floor mounts don't get in the way.

From the doc's it looks like there is a lot of stuff to pull out
(power supply and fans from memory) but when you open the box up you
will see that it all snaps in and out very easily.

Customer has i5 520 floor model.
According to hardware info center specs, this is really involved to
add memory,
having to remove much of the guts of the system to get to the board.
I can't find whether memory is considered "customer install".
Cust bought used memory - expecting me to install.
Does anyone other than CE's do this kind of stuff?
I did add new disk drives and was fairly simple.
