Just to make this clear: He was probably talking about opening
the case of the Athlon processor module, not the computer case.

It is pretty non-trivial to open an Athlon processor module,
and I'm pretty sure that you cannot do it without leaving

void the warranty doing that (there are no sevicable parts
inside anyway).
