Probably uses are horrendously cheap PSU, motherboard will be an OEM locked down version. Basically like any other cheaper computer tbh.

Very few options in the bios is what I mean. Obviously no OCing since it's H67 and if you intend to put a gfx card in there plan to get a new PSU, check the size that it can take if you intend to do that.

I have those available in my current setup. It might be a good option for a better upgrade.

I bet the HDD is a 5400rpm drive, which would be pretty slow as a main system drive.

Just checked and it will take up to a 600W PSU. I have a 750W sounds like it would be too big. Yes the drive is 5400 rpm.
