The vast majority of our corporate donors supply us with Dell optiplex
machines, these have the two buttons to open, hard drives that sit on
one screw connected caddies, CD ROMS that have no screw caddies - likewise
floppy drives.  The expansion cards sit on a riser card that is removed
with a leaver, the motherboard is attached with one screw... they are
so easy to work on, and I am convinced this is the reason why they have
sold so well to the corporate world, ease of working on!
