    I have an eMachines ez1600 PC and i wanted to know how to take it apart in order to upgrade the components (if it is at all possible??)

    I've checked the entire machine and I cant see a way of taking off the cover (there are no visible screws or clips holding it all together) and i was just wondering if there is anyone here who would know how to dismantle it??

    Those emachines models are notoriously hard to upgrade as the board is screwed into the back of the frame screen. From what I gather they're internally clipped together so it probably needs to be undone the same way a laptop screen is taken out

    What is it you want to upgrade anyway?

    Ah i see so it's a bit of a nightmare to do??

    I was hoping to upgrade anything on it that can be upgraded you know??

    I'd like to try make it faster so i suppose bigger memory and a new processor maybe??

    And possibly a bigger hard drive, but it'd probably be as easy to just buy an external hard drive and leave it connected to the computer all the time!!
