    I haven't tried opening it and didn't see any screws either. But I think you can upgrade the RAM and HDD, going by these posts. http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=34695953&postcount=20...

    The 2014 Black Friday Thread

    I don't think this is covered by Intl warranty. That's a risk you have to take if you buy anything from the US.

    Polk RM6750 sounded awful when I heard it in ProFX Chennai. Try to demo/get this speaker package [http://www.hifimart.com/boston-acoustics-a-2310hts-home-theater-speaker-package-269] with any entry level receiver from Denon/Yamaha/Pioneer.

    Suggest a great 2.0(bookshelf) or 2.1 System

    If you plan to extend it to 5.1, buy a AV receiver. If you just intend to have 2.0, get a pair of active speakers (Audio Engine etc). A decent AV receiver costs at least 20K and by the time you complete your 5.1 build, you would be set back by 50-60K.
