So I got bored and decided to take apart my old Acer Aspire prebuilt. I had done this before when I replaced the old PSU, but otherwise I never got into the nitty gritty with it. Boy was this a pain in the butt. The design layout of the case is so horrible it made me want to die. On the up side however, I got everything but the low quality motherboard out that was glued to the case.

Here is two pictures I took of this. /UKH6ff5.jpg

I intend to salvage many of the parts to put together another build using a spare gtx 760, new case and new mobo. Possibly a steam machine for fun? The parts would work well enough. An fx8120, 760, 600w PSU, fairly cheap mobo, wireless internet, and that WD Green.

I cannot stress this enough. Build your own, it is the best thing you can do. You save money and personalize your PC as you would like. It is actually very easy to do and in todays day and age, the hardware side of it is very easy. Installing the OS and drivers is really the hardest thing you have to worry about. Otherwise it is smooth sailing.

Depending on your budget and what you need, I can recommend PC setups that fit your need.

If you are really concerned about building your own PC, when your parts arrive I can guide you along providing the time works out for me. *Weekends are great

Trust me, you get maaaad bragging rights to those who don't know how easy building a PC really is!

I will be able to do this through skype, and will try not to make too many jokes about your age and be a mature person about it.

SHARKEISHA! SHARKEISHA NO!

Also there was nothing easy about this PC. It was incredibly stupid. The hard drive was encased by 2 metal cages and the entire undetachable case plastic shroud.

Very hurt feels
such wow.

Does /dtFqF79 make up for it? I am making a new PC in a briefcase from spare parts
(Fx 8120, 16GB Ram, 2tb HDD, 120gb SSD. Radeon HD 7670 (Works great for 720p gaming on med-high, which is great for a cheap mobile build) Some AM3+ mobo, and a 600W Thermaltake PSU that I will be swapping for a modular one when I snag 70 bucks. The PSU will be external mounted due to space. Not too big a concern really. I will be doing heavy work on the "Case" to make sure ventilation is present, as well as everything is secure.

Lol. Nah, I will just stick to adding an intake fan at the back by the GPU (120mm) and an exhaust right near the CPU. (80mm)

@Shark
Did you not read I thing I wrote? It will have a 120mm intake fan, (70cfm) with an 80mm exhaust fan strategically positioned according to heat output of components.

Also mineral oil is a mess and is heavy. Also everything fits nicely. I did test fits of course.
