This item is OFF TOPIC but years and years ago (15?) I had a IBM PC  
and my power supply went and I ordered another one. I am *NOT*  
mechanically inclined.
I popped out the old one and put the new one in reconnected 1 or 2  
cables and powered it back up. All in less that 15 minutes. Ever  
since then I was never afraid to touch the "workings" inside a PC.  
Mac on the other hand, I have a friend who did a CPU upgrade and it  
went OK but failed after 6 or so months. I have looked inside a bit  
on my G5 and would be afraid to touch anything.
