Re: install memory on i5 520

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.
