 Yeah, commodity computers are a pain in the ass. My son wanted to try
 and upgrade a Lenovo gaming desktop and realized how proprietary (and
 how many corners were cut) with brand-name PCs. Would have been so much
 easier if he'd started out with a white box PC, standard power supply,
 cable routing, etc.

 He took a summer camp at the local junior college on PC assembly and
 trouble-shooting, so he had some familiarity with opening up PCs and
 assembling them. That'll be a life skill he'll use.
