With the cost of off-the-shelf computers as low as they are, the Christmas season might seem a perfect time to purchase one for that special person. Not so fast...Let's take a look inside that box and see what we can see.

With the technology of computing growing at the present rate, it would be shortsighted to think that the computer you buy this season will be sufficient in as little as 18 months. There will certainly come a time when you may want to replace a power supply, a hard drive or maybe even upgrade the processor. You would think that if this were the case, you could purchase the parts and make the changes yourself. If you are not mechanically inclined, you could take it to your repair shop of choice and have it done.

No...chances are you can't.
