Why? You don't have to call a person a retard in order to educate them. If they refer to the CPU simply say "You mean the tower, correct? The CPU is a component inside that tower." Easily done, and most often they are happy to have learned something (it doesn't take much to entertain many users).

Why the FUCK would you waste time telling laymen that? My mum thinks that to install RAM in your computer, you need to download it from the internet.

The enermax cases are really solid, and cheaply priced. Don't pay more than you have too.

Five seconds is hardly a waste of time. The second part of your comment is hilarious though. I've got a couple of users with similar technical aptitude.

I've seen previews of the P180. Now THAT is a great case. Not out yet, but damn it should be good.

What do you mean it's not out yet? I have one sitting on my desk for the past 6 months.

a case is the only part of a computer that, if well made, ages well.

Yea...I guess I don't know how to distinguish between the abbreviation CPU and the term computer, so I just use them interchangeably because I am completely technologically illiterate.

Should the terms be used interchangeably in textbooks? Of course not. But do we use slightly inaccurate shorthand in our day to day conversations all the time? Yes.
