You have some experience though.
But how much of it do you take apart? Do you take the motherboard out of the case, re apply thermal compound and unhook all the wires etc..? If so then you are very good at keeping all the screws together, not breaking the pcb boards and have small fingers for re plugging in the ribbon cables/wires etc...
Still though, it's not something you want to do if you don't have some experience in it.

I have to take out about a dozen screws, but other than that ... getting into the case is not so hard.
