Mac Mini Take Apart mov

Doesn't look all that bad. I see the optical drive and hard drive bracket looks easy enough to remove for any upgrade there. Is there a special mini airport card?

I can't tell. Look at this and see if you can make out if the card is special.

How about that, it's just the regular card. I thought it was gonna be something specially made for it. Well at least if someone isn't afraid to get into the guts of the mini they might be able to add their own. The tape looks so not to Apple's standards. Gues there's no room for some plastic clamps or something to keep it in place. The drives connecting directly to the daughter card with the ATA interface is bit scary if you happen to break a pin.

Looks to be the same, standard AirPort Extreme card.

Although taped down to hold it firmly in place, this AirPort Extreme card is model A1026 — the standard AirPort Extreme card.
