HP's new Z800 workstation features brushed aluminum side panels, integrated handles front and back, and a cableless, toolless interior with innovations such as a modular power supply that you can replace by pulling it out with a handle. Hard drives work the same way; you click a green tab, a handle drops, and you pull it out. millimeter Contributing Writer Jan Ozer asked his third-grader, Rosie, to try it, and she removed and replaced a drive with no problem (and then demanded $5, but that’s a different story). Two easily removable panels cover the expansion slots and memory compartments. Another panel, complete with fans, covers the memory. Insert your thumbs and forefingers in the prominently marked slots, and that comes out too—again, with no tools. As before, diagrams on the case detail the memory load order and identify the major components within the case.
