User Servicable Parts and Software Installed

Here's a link to an Apple document page which lists the User Servicable Parts. Doesn't really look like there is much which can't be replaced, as far as main assemblies go. But I don't see any direct mention of the graphics adapter so I'm guessing its probably part of that mid-plane assembly. I suppose that could be an upgrade sell at some point, you just purchase an upgrade mid-plane assembly which has your faster processor, better graphics adapter, &c.. Of interest is the fact you can replace the LCD Display DIY. That has got to entail pretty much emptying the case. I really like the fact that Apple is at least letting you pretty much rebuild your box and by yourself; just wish they would fit a slot in there for a graphics card which could be upgraded yourself.

Well, I'm gonna cut this short for the moment and still not get to my bit on the software I have installed. The WoW open beta just finished installing and I'm itching to see how it runs on the PodBox. I played in the closed beta, mainly on my PC, where it ran great with most all options and on our year old eMac, where it was able to run quite well if you turned down the graphics a bit. Knowing how my PC is setup, particularly in regards to the graphics card, I'm hoping that WoW is gonna run really well. I'll let ya know.
