that's silly. sharpen the putty knife so you can get it in easier. otherwise it will chew the plastic up a bit.
Is it a bit of a struggle to get the knife in between the metal the cover? If so, I would need to take out my dremel and sand the tip of it a bit.

yes it will work but it will ding up the case. sharpen it and it is more like using foreplay over rape.Having a flexible putty knife will ensure that the putty knife is thin enough.
As long as it is flat and won't crush under the pressure needed to open a Mac Mini, any tool will work to open it. On my last Mini, I actually used a pocket knife. It wasn't easy, mind you.
I got a new 500GB WD Scorpio Blue for my MBP and placed the old 320GB WD Scorpio Black that was in my MBP in my Mini. Both drives came from NewEgg.
The Mac Mini's stock HDD is horribly slow. I had the slowest of them all, the 160GB. The 320GB will be faster, but you might as well stick in a good aftermarket drive.
You really don't need 4GB RAM in a Mac Mini. 2GB is more than sufficient for most all tasks.
Nice, im going to be adding 4gb ram and a 30gb ssd to the mini when it arrives - super nervous but the owc videos seem reassuring.
