Totally a no-brainer with one caveat: make sure you discharge any static
charges by grounding yourself on something that is also grounded.

Just lift up the keyboard and there it is.

Do it first to make sure everything  is ok hardware-wise.

Unnecessary unless you need a "Lunchbox".  Having a separate partition for
frequently changing contents is probably a good idea because of all the
fragmentation. I think that's probably  something more required for movie
making than Photoshop work.  You could always get an external firewire drive
if you needed that separate partition. They aren't that expensive these days
for a decent sized one.

Good luck.
