How have you upgraded your Mac?

[bmcgonag]

I'm interested to know what types of changes / upgrades you've made to your mac?

On my white 24" iMac I've upgraded the Ram from 1 GB to 3 GB and the HDD from 250 GB to 1TB.

I always prefer 2nd gen than first gen

I haven't done anything to my PowerBook G4.

But my Power Mac G4 is a different story:

-512MB RAM upgraded to 1GB
-19" CRT upgraded to 20" WFP LCD
-Radeon 7500 upgraded to Radeon 9600 PRO upgraded to GeForce 6800GT
-40GB Quantum HDD upgraded to 2x Hitachi 250GB and 1x Seagate 500GB SATA with PCI SATA controller.
-Dual 533 Mhz CPUs upgraded to single 1.4GHz (overclocked)
-DVD-ROM upgraded to Pioneer 107D DVD-RW
-USB 2.0 PCI card (I'm on my second after the first one died)
-PCI slot cooling fan
Added an original (802.11b) AirPort card
OS 9 upgraded to OS X Panther upgraded to Tiger

I'm very happy with the tower, it was worth upgrading. My only complaint is the noise, an expensive problem to solve. I've just gotten used to it.

No, and I never will. I wish I knew how.

Some Macs are easy, others are more difficult. iFixit.com has a lot of tips on upgrades. The MacBook drive and RAM were easy. The mini was a little tougher. I'm not looking forward to upgrading the HD in the Alu iMacs.
