Can i upgrade this computer?

I have an older Acer Aspire E360 an was wondering if i could upgrade it instead of buying all the stuff to build one, i mean keep this case and dvd drives but upgrade the mother board/processer and hard drive…..it’s kinda slow and i need to start doing some video editing on 9 years worth of home movies……

Cannot help you.
But i typed this on google: “upgrading Acer Aspire E360” and i find some information there. Might interest you. You can also type different combination of words relating to what you are looking for.
Good luck.

Getting a new mobo/cpu/ram is basically buying a new computer.
The only parts you will be able to re-use is the optical and hard drive.
I doubt the power supply is worth re-using, and you should pick up a new case.
:I am AWESOME: replied: Post your specs.
DxDiag report or CPU-Z report.
You can get all this from Google =/
Hint: its a manufactured computer
