So bought a GT 70 Dominatorpro from newegg, and I want to install my 250 Gig samsung evo into it. But the problem is, there's a plain sticker on the back with "Warranty Sticker, Void if tampered". I was wondering if I poke through the sticker, will I void my warranty? The MSI guy that was interviewed on the neweggTV channel from MSI said it shouldn't really matter, but im having doubts.
the youtube video is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4tJw5kfKdM
and 5:00 he gets asked if it's possible to do upgrades
 
If you contact MSI they will tell you, you can make upgrades to things like ram or hdd/ssd and others, but if you would mess up the machine while doing so it is your fault. I would suggest contacting MSI and asking because I saw this on a different forum thread and don't know if it is totally true.
