Can all prebuilt PCs be opened?

I've seen some prebuilds use rivets instead of screws.

If that's the case, you'll literally need to drill them out.

Your best bet is to call the maker up and ask them directly.

Check inside if you can before you buy, or ask the manufacturer. I wanted to salvage some stuff from my mom's prebuilt but found everything was bolted in tight. So i'd have to do some serious cutting to get anything out of the brackets.

I got back from talking with tech support. It seems they don't recommend me opening it, because if i break it in the process of opening it, that voids the warranty. I dunno if it's safe to do it.Deathscythe777

Can all prebuilt PCs be opened? I'm worried about this, i think i can, but the PC seems to have screws on it basically sealing it...i could be wrong though.Deathscythe777

what is a screwdriver?

Don't you mean pentium 4?

a pentium can't run youtube, I'm guessing.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="Deathscythe777"] If my PC cannot run youtube well, i hope to install a cheap graphics card. Deathscythe777

Windows computers begin to feel sluggish because all the bloatware people install over the years.

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] If ur PC can't run YouTube, it's not the graphics card, you have a software problem. ANY computer can run YouTube, even my 8 year old Pentium.FelipeInside

That p4 must have been your first computer then.

No one just called them "pentiums"

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"][QUOTE="Deathscythe777"] I don't understand what you're saying. I haven't tried the PC yet, but i will, and i hope that streamed video works ok.Deathscythe777

LOL, then you have nothing to worry about. YouTube will work fine.

If you want HD YouTube, it depends more on your internet speeds.

Most PCs can be opened. Heck, Even my old-style Mac Mini can be opened. The main tool is a putty knife though.:lol:

Heh. This one is deadlier. I used to laugh at the thought of using a putty knife. Then I remembered I needed to add more RAM to my Mini. :lol:

To be honest, I've never heard of a PC (MS-DOS or Windows) case being non-accessible. I mean I've seen RAM and CPUs soldered into their slot/socket. But, I've never seen a PC that cannot be opened.
