Between the CRT and the capacitors, disconnecting this power supply sort of feels like disarming a bomb.

Apple did their best to keep average users out of the Macintosh, using Torx screws on the exterior. But once you're inside, it's a fun mix of screw types, including Phillips and flathead. Time to pull out our favorite roll of fixed-handle drivers, the Pro Tech Screwdriver Set.

Cult of Mac adds: We'd still rather disassemble a 128K Mac than an iMac any day!
