| 672858 | 2008-05-26 23:55:00 | Hi there. Why are so many motherboards now a 'tool-less' setup, especially the more expensive cases??? ie no screwdiver needed to install vid cards & drives. If you cant work a screwdriver, then you should be working on a PC These tools-less (nasty plastic) options never seem to be as good as screwing the part onto the case. And you still need a screwdriver to install a m/b & powersupply.:yuck: |

I can change a drive in 30 seconds as opposed to 3 minutes! Toolless cases also tend to have nice rounded edges so you dont cut yourself either. Its the cases that are tool less, not the motherboards |
