Macintosh Customer-Installable Parts
One of the problems with supporting business customers is that you're invariably asked to do hardware repairs or upgrades at some point. Some computer manufacturers, Dell for example, are very particular about what you can do on their systems without voiding the warranty. I have always assumed that Apple was the same way. (I did have one incident where I was having trouble getting an add-on card installed, called Apple Tech Support, and was told up-front that I had voided the warranty as soon as I mentioned that I had opened the case.)
However, I ran across this link from Apple (http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/) which details the components on each Macintosh model that are user serviceable. So the memory upgrade I just did on an iMac I picked up a couple of weeks ago for $90 is blessed by Apple.
