I'd like to take apart my dell computer ,so easier to take on the road, but I've trouble taking the motherboard off the tower... anyone knows why and how?

ps. I can't take the CPU off motherboard either. The display card is built in in CPU

thanks a lot.
 
This doesnt make any sense... its just too risky to take it down just for transportation. and

Dude....I seriously do not recommend that you take apart your computer. It should not be transported without a case, period. And if you think that the CPU has a built-in display card....well, that's a problem.
 
Agreed. I don't understand why you'd want to take anything out of the case. The motherboard can't be harmed by being banged around, nor can it be shocked as the case is grounded. The only thing you might consider taking out is the harddrive, but new ones park when they are off and can withstand a few hundred G's...
 
So instead of a computer with everything inside the big chunky case, you'll have a computer scattered in boxes along with a big chunky case. The only thing you'll be gaining is the chance of damaging a component.
 
shipping the whole computer from west to east coast is expensive, I intend to take parts with me, get rid of the case, then buy a new one when I arrive at the east, then fit every part in.

but I really have trouble taking mother board out of the case, everything is taken off the mother board except the CPU, I don't know how to take it off
 
WHY do you want to take the CPU off the motherboard? And if you don't know how you shouldn't be trying.
