    First my specs are as follows on my new system:

    7675CTO system

    T7300 CPU
    1GB RAM
    80 GB HD
    3 Year Warranty

    1) Does upgrading the RAM and Hard drive cancel out any warranty on my machine? obviously if I break something in the upgrade process I understand I am responsibile or that. But if I update the ram and the Fan goes, will this still get fixed?

    2) Do I have to retain the original RAM and Hard drive to get any warranty service done? Can I sell these items and still get the Fan fixed if it breaks?

    3) Can I upgrade my three year warrantty to on-site after the purchase? I got depot, but am thinking I should have gotten on site. Anyone have any advice on this? is the service better one way or the other, a few days without computer isnt a problem, but if it is normally a 3-4 week ordeal.

    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    1) It doesn't void the warranty

    2) I'm pretty sure (though not 100%) that you can sell the original parts

    3) You should get the on-site one since you don't have yo mail it back (which is a big hassle)

    3) I heard the turn-around on Depot is actually surprising quick.
