Hello. Many of the older thinkpads were regarded as being peak for the ability to repair and easily see into them at both the hardware and software levels.

I was wondering, what PC, if any, is similar in this regard? Aside from building your own PC ofc. Any opinions are welcome. Thank you.

    I’m pretty sure the second one will work on any case, just that you might be missing the I/O plate.

      Look closely at the opposite edge of the board. All the front IO (including the power button) is on that little protrusion.
