    I'm on the process of doing this swap, but on the TWR model. Finding #6-32 x in huts for the CPU cooler here in Europe his a huge b*tch, and I don't see myself butchering the old case to get the tabs. But I don't despair, I'll find a way eventually.

    OMG the hard drive bays on these are absoltue aweful. I don't know how you can scr33w up a 5.25 and a 3" drive bay but HP found a way. You can forget the traditional mounting via 4 side or bottom screws.There is no way to mount either drive in here without them flopping around. I finally just shoved a drive in there floating around and used foam to keep it from rattling.
    And opening the case was infuriating as well. Instead of two screws on the back, there is a handle you have to pull up and yank on the top cover of the case. WTF. seriously. WTF HP. PC techs do not appreciate change. Or non proprietary connectors.
    I would say, avoid these machines, even if theyseem like great buys. You can't put a ful height GPU in them, and the power supply is propreitary and only 250 watt. They are not as awful as Dells or Macs, but they are not much better either. I unfortunately bought 4 of these machines to give away as Xmas presents and am regretting it.
