I had an iMac hard drive die somewhat out of warranty. So upgraded hard drive it is. FWIW, I didn't find the iMac all that hard to get into, certainly no harder than unibody MBP. There are a lot of screws, and you have to pull the display out, but that's the cost of a sleek all in one. I did appreciate that there were no sharp sheet metal edges to cut my fingers, like my cheaper towers. I'm not sure I'd buy another one though -- I'm disappointed with the display. It's ghosting/burning in, the backlight is uneven, and it doesn't profile worth a damn. I suspect that the issue with the dead HD was heat, and that also affects the display.
