putty knife cracking - not a big deal.
I agree. I have the 2009 mini 2.0 and just 2 days ago had to replace one of the 4GB RAM sticks under warranty. It takes about 30 minutes max. start to finish.
It's like bizarro world where down is up and up is down. RAM upgrades should take at most five minutes. Only Apple could convince people thirty minutes and almost complete disassembly is reasonable. Pop the shell, flip out or remove the upper chassis (remember to disconnect a couple delicate wires first). RAM's on the bottom. While not impossible, it is disconcerting (cracking cases will never sound okay) and much more annoying than needed.
