I plan on building a new computer this spring, and its going to be a microatx, which means i might have to be taking things out to get to other things in my computer......

So having one that easy to take apart would be ideal....is are there any type of hardware that makes taking a computer apart easier?



I'm thinking like....screws that you can take out with your fingers (sticks out a bit)

philips that can bend and get in tight areas.....

Harddrive and CD enclosures that pop out easily.....

anything like that out there? :confused:

    Thumb screws are what you're describing. Most places sell them, although case parts, fans, and the like are something that I usually don't buy from Newegg. I usually get them at SVC.

    Another thing to look for would be a case that is easy to work on. I'm not sure about the options in microATX as far as cases go, but the one I went with is the Antec Aria. It's fairly easy to work on everything except for the CPU (since the PSU needs to come out for CPU access). On the Aria, there's one thumb screw, and then everything else comes out by sliders and tabs.
