Dells are harder, due to all teh proprietary components (like the crappy little green tunnel to cool the CPU)

I can take that little green tunnel off in ~2 seconds.

Well of course you can. But the whole case is screwed with.

it's just a shroud 2 blow air towards the heatsink 2 cool the CPU down..

what do you mean "the whole case is screwed with"?

Look inside of it. Do you see a standard ATX motherboard? Do you see a standard HDD enclosure? Standard side panel? Standard anything? Noooo

I have a dell. And I can't for the life of me get the mobo out! I removed all the screws, but the mobo is still connect somewhere behind the heatsink mounts. Pretty screwy if you ask me!
