Why would they want to?

A typical consumer will buy into 8.

I would think not. Most tablets are very 'awkwardly' engineered so parts can all fit into that small frame. Design-conscious companies are making their tablets sealed to avoid any ugly screws or anything that might ruin the seamless look.

There is no hard drive in a tablet, I believe its all flash-based memory, because hard drives are sensitive. Tablets are chucked in bags and rotated violently, they'd break instantly. Ignoring that, hard drives are too bulky to begin with.

Even if a company did allow for the swapping of memory (not sure how that'd work since I doubt it uses any memory standard we are used to) I can't imagine your every day user (their target) bothering to do that.

I'm thinking of building a desktop for everyday use and a little gaming (blockland and CSS mainly) and media , I explained all the details in this reddit thread here.

The build that I'm really looking into is the one suggested in that thread: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wKaW

I was wondering if I'd be able to use this monitor instead of the one in the pcpartpicker link. The budget is $500-$600 for just the build, and I've already ordered the (lovey and on sale) keyboard and mouse to use with my laptop until I gather enough money to order everything else. So basically, the last 3 items in the pcpartpicker link you can ignore. I'm also wondering how well this desktop could handle Blockland on max shaders.

Use that monitor instead of the pcpartpicker one.

I'll be able to get you a computer that could run Blockland on max shaders. Just let me turn on my laptop.

Yo Dawgs, I need ideas for a new Intel rig. CPU and mother board suggestions under ~$250.

Order Completed.  Going to be a hastle to re-install windows :/

Also, will any of my information or data be lost?

I don't think so. You're not ordering a new hard drive or anything.

So if i put ubuntu on a flash drive, am i able to change the boot order in the bios to it? I know that you can change the boot order to the disk drive, but I don't know about a removable drive.

I don't think so. You're not ordering a new hard drive or anything.

If you're reinstalling windows, every bit of personal data will be wiped.
If you're upgrading from WinVista to Win7 however, everything is kept safely and Windows 7 simply installs itself and removes any conflicting vista cores.

Also why are you reinstalling windows when all you got was a new motherboard? I never had to reinstall windows when i got my new mobo.
Windows will simply detect a hardware change and do whatever stuff it needs to do for compatability and then everything will go back normal.

push f12 during the POST and it will bring up a menu of what you want to boot from
select your USB device
wait for it to load
