I cut my hand quite badly the last time I had to install RAM in an 8500. If I were ever going to act out the printer scene from Office Space, it would be with an 8500. No computer draws blood from me and lives. }
You need to be more careful. I have been in and out of a 8500 so many times (same with an Q800/840AV) I can get to RAM in a minute if that.
If I took a sledgehammer to a 8500 it would be because of the brittle plastic that snaps if you look at it funny.
