I had purchased the refurb/90-day warranty iMac at a special deal they had. Just couldn't come up with the cash for a new one, and since I'm now old and retired, wanted a desktop with bigger display . Called them back later and had them put in the SSD and extra RAM before they shipped it. I did up the RAM and replace the built-in battery myself in the MacBook a few years ago with no problem. However, I thought back to the time when I tackled replacing RAM and the HD in my 1999 iMac Blueberry all in one. That was a pain in the ass with all the screws and shit that had to be removed, so I just paid OWC for the parts along with 80 bucks labor to make sure it was done right.

OWC is a good outfit to deal with. I think they have "how to" videos if you want to tackle doing it yourself. A site called fixit.com probably also has similar videos.
