Intel Core 2 Duo T9600
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9300
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9100
Would this be possible? If I managed to find one of the above, would the upgrade be worth it?

Think it cost me around a tenner for a new one from ebay.
Found some you-tube videos on how to do it and its been fine ever since. Still using it for movies and sky go sat next to my main PC.
Just found some videos on your Acer and it looks like a proper faff to get to the fan. Almost everything apart from the screen has to come out !

If you take it apart and it doesn't work, you have lost nothing.
If you are able to disable the fan, would it be usable as a low powered server?

Mine was always going to be suck it and see. If it broke , it broke..
I did manage to upgrade the CPU and RAM to the maximum my board would support.
All in I spent around £30 and breathed new life into it. Was never going to set the computing world alight, but still good enough for what I use it for.
