As those from other companies but I'm just an Apple guy. You can open them up like a Speed Graphic and a screw driver and replace major components on the fly as you evolve as time goes by. Extra hard drives which can be used as free space.... You name it. Turbo chargers/ after burners. I'd turn the power off first though. I'd Kill for an Apple duo core Tower...: He wants the precious. Always he is looking for it. And the precious is wanting to go back to him... But we mustn't let him have it. Considering the years you'd be able to use one I think the tower configuration is quite a deal. Not that much more than a hear today gone tomorrow laptop which I'm into using now.
