Oh cool, thank you for the warning. I hadn't quite gotten a grip on how hard the take-apart is, though I'd gathered that at least wasn't in guy-with-a-beard-and-5-soldering-irons territory. I'm not too worried about scratches, thankfully; this particular mini already took one good sidewalk-dive, so it's got some totally punk rock gouges in the case to hide any little slip on my part.

I've got about 6 retailers open in tabs right now. I should probably stop stressing just pick one at random.
