want to ask izzit branded pc can upgrade processor?
mine am2 socket hope to upgrade to x2.will it out problem ?

depends on ur mobo

Yeah.

HP Workstation Processor Heat sink fan is a blow out fan. the air got into the heat sink and goes out the other end, then the hot air goes through the back fan.

But not sure why, HP workstation design is pretty good too.
You can feel the air goes into the front (Quite strong)

I know because i use HP Workstation XW4100.

I decide to change it into HP Workstation xw8000

Always been a HP fan hehe

acer desktop...installing graphic card


dell...cleaning heatsink

the dell is optiplex series, right? my office still using it~

all is your pc ? but the acer motherboard purple colour not same as mine

yes, think so

nop, not mine
that one old system, P4 only

What's in a notebook ?
Nothing much to see, except some opening to allow upgrades....

These are profile of Dell Inspiron 1720 (upgraded to 2g ram, 17" display with 1920x1200 n cam)
One taken side-by-side to my desktop's display, Dell 24" Ultrasharp (relative sizing). The computer is rather (very!) large for a notebook, call it desktop replacement.

The top-panel exposed. got nothing to say here, there is a space and connector for something (top-right).
Love the keyboard, with separate numeric.

From underside, hmmm now I see that Dell's technician really in a hurry assemblying a PC. They missed a screw holding the hdd to the chasis (bottom right). Hell...the also (missed ??) the holding-panel for the second hdd. No choice then, have to buy the second hdd from them....haaaaah)

Top right, I know WLAN but WPAM FCM & WWAN FCM ??). Someone could shed a light here.

Middle-center, a very hi-tech cellophane-tape holding the battery down.
And the ram...no comment. Anyone, on the ram - quality ?

Very interesting thread, i always wondered how it looks like inside the branded case

dell needs ppl who know cable management or theyre just too lazy =.=

not enough time and their case is closed, no window so cable management is no2 btw, cable manage only reduce small temperature only.

That very small temperature means alot in terms of maintaining the hardwares lifespan

I think they don't care. If PC lifespan shorten they will untung, cos consumer will buy new PC hehe
