Every time I take apart a Dell I am impressed all over again how much you 
can break it down without even a thumb screw.  They basically snap 
together.  I think that the HD does screw into a HD cage, but then the 
cage snaps onto the case frame.  I've never taken out the MB so I'm not 
sure if it uses screws.
