Hmm., this doesn't sound right to me. After all, I thought the whole point of
having slots and the mem sockets was so it would be easy for the owner to 
upgrade and customize his machine himself. Having to take it into the dealer
for every little thing would be a real hassle.

Will someone from CBM comment on this? 
BTW: how can they tell if you have messed with the case once you have taken it
in to the dealer and he has broken the seal?
