Bill, >I've had an E-machine for about 3 years and I only need to remove 3 screws to open it.< Yeah, but the cover is hard to get back in place, unless you have 3 hands. Otherwise my 3 year old 400MHz eMachine is fine. :) Gottfried

Three screws? Hmmm.. I just checked my Dell Tower. To open all I do is move my HP OfficeJetPro All-in-one out of the way, loosen a thumbscrew on the back of the Dell tower, and pull. The whole side of the case comes off exposing all the guts for easy service. Hard to be easier to open than that. I don't even have to unplug it from anything! I had a 3 screw box on my old PC built by a local shop that went under... The screws were easy to put in after you spent about an hour getting the cheap sheet metal case to properly seat/align. IF I tried to service it on my nice table, my nice table would be full of scratches. Hopefully the eMachines 3 screw solution is better. It makes me wonder why I still hold any HP stock.... When I was on the Agilent side of things, we had some good industrial designers, but it seems they were let go long ago? Kirk
