0:00 Hmm...I need to swap out this laptop's hard drive, but there's no obvious way to get it out.

0:15 (16 screws later) Hmm...this laptop is sure hard to get into

0:30 (10 more screws later) OK, it's almost coming apart. What's still catching?

0:40 (4 more screws later) LCD is detached, doesn't seem to help matters

0:50 (2 more screws) Aha! That small plastic bit snaps on; removing it shows more screws

0:55 (4 more screws) OK, it's apart. The hard drive is under the motherboard? Crap. That's another 10 screws or so. WTF Dell?

0:56 Wait a second...(removes two screws that were accessible from the very beginning, pulls out hard drive rendering entire work done so far not only obsolete, but counterproductive).

0:57 <bangs head against wall>
