Has anyone installed fat pads on the mpc one yet? If so,was it hard to get in to it? Also is there a guide to opening it up? I tried searching a step by step on u tube but came up short.

There are tutorials on the X and Live that I've seen at MPC Stuff.com, so I would imagine doing it on the One would be no different, meaning: all of them are a bit complicated and doing so will void your warranty. In a nut shell, if you aren't 100% completely comfortable building your own PC, or taking apart your PC and putting it back together, I would NOT attempt doing this on your own.

Here's an in-depth video showing thick pad replacement on an MPC Live:

I'm kinda glad they're shipping to the UK is so prohibitively expensive, I was tempted to trick out my one with a set of their pads but after watching that teardown I'll take a hard pass on it, did the upgrade on my old maschine and it was easy, I was sweating just watching that.. :vomit:
