Some dude with the handle teknokracy at myHPmini.com forum got his hands on a HP Mini 311 and promptly tore it apart to see what makes this little netbook tick.
He commented that its pretty sturdy and quite well built. There's not much room for much customization. HP has made the machine easy to take apart and put back together, using the same screw type throughout the whole thing.
Check out his posting of the Mini 311 teardown.
