I've never really wokred with Mac's but a friend of mine is attempting to upgrade his. iIt is an Imac G4 and we can't seem to get the case open. I know, I know yuou are laughing at me but I know little to nthing about macs and we are trying to avoid braking the clips on the case. We are attempting to put in a new graphics card.

If it's the one on the circular stand you can't use the other instructions all macs have a differnt case

this cost $$$ but

macfixit.com may have something

The way a mac should be treated - nice one.
