   Instructions _are_ included detailing memory expansion and hard drive
   installation on the 3000.  There is nothing saying "Do this and you 
   will void your warranty."  If Commodore doesn't want consumers poking
   around inside its machinery, it should say so.  Personally, I see the
   lack of such warning, along with the detailed installation directions,
   as granting permission to do the installations without risk of voiding
   the warranty (at least as long as no damage is done by the installation).

The manual sez:

WARNING:  Installation of RAM chips should be performed by an
authorized Commodore-Amiga Service Center, or by your Commodore-Amiga
dealer.  Commodore-Amiga will not be responsible or liable for any
damages caused by improper installation of RAM chips.

There are no seals on the 3000.  At least, not on mine.  I should
know--I took the whole thing apart to admire it, then had a hell of a
time getting it back together (NOT a simple project).  The 500,
however, does have a seal.  It covers one of the bolts that holds the
case together, and says "warrantee seal".
