Which is quite a shame, really. I had a BTX Dell, which had amazing potential to be upgraded, since nearly everything was just spring latches, and could be slid open quite easily. You could install and swap most parts without a screwdriver.

The potential to upgrade it was there, and then it just never materialised, so the entire thing ended up basically being useless.
