i would say just go ahead, i just did that a week ago and nothing is happened to me(touch wood) and they are working great.
but i havent update the firmware to 1.7 as lots of users make complaint on crashes and their machine slow after they have upgraded the firmware.
of course there are lucky guys anywhere.........just dont dare to take the risk.

what do you mean? i'm a complete newbie in the Mac world... if I replace the HDD inside the Mac Mini to say 500GB, I have to reinstall the OS right? Just like Windows? And RAM shouldn't be a problem yeah?

yeap, you have to install the os again. if you have set up the time machine on an external HDD, you can just transfer all your previous files to your new HDD by just a single click. to install os on a new HDD, simply insert ur os x CD and follow the on screen instruction. very simply.
im a newbie too.....hope it helps

i see... once my Mac Mini comes, I'll insert my new HDD into it straight away. So I'll just pop in the DVD and install the OS on the new HDD ya?

Instead of replacing the internal HDD of the mac mini, I've now decided to use the HDD i recently bought as an external extra HDD for the mini. I'm looking for a 2.5'' HDD enclosure with a firewire 800 port. Any ideas?
