You can basically replace or add anything that makes sense, optical
drive, hard drive, video card, RAM, etc. Why would they have the funky
removable side door in the first place if it wasn't for expansion ?

Or are you talking about a different Mac ? The mini ?

In that case, yes, expansion might be a possible issue, but on the other
hand, the 'overpriced' would make even less sense... :>
