I put 8 megs in my SE/30, as well as a HD, and I would only suggest that you 
would do it yourself if you're very confident in your tinkering skills.  The 
rear of the monitor has a very sensitive glass nipple that if touched may 
break and destroy the monitor.  It sits behind a white         cardboard 
piece that has several wires leading to it.  You can pull off 
the cardboard piece to lessen the risk to the monitor but be wary of shock 
hazards.  The clips holding RAM chips to the motherboard are also notorious 
for breaking and causing much grief.  It is also very easy to 
scratch the case up pretty well if you don't have the right tools.  Acase 
cracking kit can cost $15 bucks and will include everything to open and 
replace your old RAM.  But for $25 more, you avoid all risks, keep your 
warranty, and know that your money was well spent.
