Hi,

Firstly, I'm in Columbus Ohio and I'm new to posting in the forum. I've lurked for probably 10 years.

I would like to try and lengthen the life of my old iMac. I'm not too keen on getting a new one. I've been booting from an external SSD for about 3 years now but the 8 GB of RAM and even the older SSD are showing their age.

Are there any stores that specialize in cracking open iMacs and doing RAM and SSD upgrades? I thought about a store like MicroCenter but I'm afraid they'll charge me an arm and a leg.

If you're in the Columbus area, are there any stores that you know of that might perform this kind of job? What kind of cost would I be looking at?

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Best regards
