    Will upgrading RAM and/or a hard drive typically void the standard warranty? I'd be buying custom direct from HP...

    Thanks

    Nope, HP does not care if you upgrade the RAM/HDD, doesn't void your warranty. When I had my HP, I did it, called them beforehand - they said it was fine. ;)

    Cheers

    You can even do the optical drive if needed. The warranty obviously won't cover the new parts.
