Hi Rifty

Apple often supplies instructions on how to upgrade memory for their 
gear - might be worthwhile checking the Apple site or googling for 
upgrade memory for MacPro

If found it will tell you how to open the box, and more relevently if it 
is on the Apple site then there should be no problems with your 
guarantee for opening the box

Installing HDs is a cinch 4 screws and thats it, apart from the cables.  
When you look where the other HD cables cme from you should be able to 
see if an adaptor is needed, or if there is a spare socket to plug your 
new HD into

I haven't installed any SATA drives, but have done lots of IDE drives in 
both Macs and Window boxes

cheers - and all the best for a Merry and Safe Christmas to all
