mac mini insidesHere’s some info for all you would-be Mac mini hackers who have avoided breaking open your mini via putty knife in fear of scratching or damaging the casing: Mac mini Hacks forums has a nice how to complete with pictures that covers opening the Mac mini without a putty knife and without any scratches.

It sounds like someone could make/sell a Mac mini Cracker.. Remeber the old MacSE Mac Cracker that helped you open the case. A metal/hardplastic comb ( with fingers to press the plastic lock tabs ) if it works might sell well if bundled with a 512MB or 1GB memory upgrade.
