Dave the drive bays on a MacPro are slide out so you don't need any
tools, there are four of them here is the fomal description from
Apple:
Slide-in storage.
The Mac Pro comes with four 3.5-inch internal hard drive bays for an
enormous amount of internal storage - up to 4TB. These bays are
direct-
attach and cable free, so it's easy to add or remove drives. Just
attach the drive carrier to either a Serial ATA 3Gb/s or Serial
Attached SCSI 3Gb/s drive, and slide the drive into place. There are
no connectors or cables to contend with. Lock the drives with the side
door latch, and you're done.
I can't see that there should be any issue in installing your own even
without sight. Are you on Skype now?

HI Dave,
Just to clarify! I realise that drives and cards can be installed
into the
Mac Pro! However, I'm just wondering if a totally blind person is
able to
install these things without sighted assistants. We don't have any
sight
available in our household so if I were to get a Mac Pro, it'd be
built
online by me at the Aussie Apple store
http://store.apple.com/au
then delivered to me. I'd build my Mac Pro with the smallest drive
as I
have a couple of 1tb SATA drives lying around from my windows
machines which
I hope to be able to put in to the Mac pro should I get one.

actually, I've heard of people doing this with Mac notebooks. in
the manual
for my pbg4 for instance, there were instructions on removing and
inserting
an hd and memory and such. I think it had a card slot in there too
and you
could add wireless if it didn't have it.
To answer your question though, yes, you can install drives in the
bays and
cards in the slots.

Hi Everyone,
Have any of you actually seen or felt a Mac Pro computer? I was just
wondering if you have do you think it would be easy for a totally
blind
person to open up the machine and install cards and new hard drives
etc to
it? I was able to install all of my hard drives and cards to my
windows
machines without any sighted assistance. I'm hoping I can do the
same with
a mac Pro. Thanks for your input,
