I recently got a good deal on a nice little pc, an HP media center. It has a dual core athlon processor, 250gig hard drive, dual layer burners, etc. Only one problem - the case is so small that to open it up and try to add/change anything is nearly impossible. Everything is so tightly packed in there. Adding two sticks of ram was like doing dental surgery.
So my question is how easy/difficult would it be to just buy a nice big case and swap everything out of this one and into the big one? Bear in mind my knowlegdge level is pretty low on this. I've never built a computer or assembled/disassembled one.
Would it be wise to do it myself (carefully) or should I have an expert do it for me?
And I'm presuming that it isn't a problem to make such a change, am I right? Does changing the case have any other effects or will all this "HP" stuff work just the same in any case? Ha, 'in any case'...
Thanks in advance
