Kaplan Networking Class, Anyone Taken it?

First, I am a bit leary of this class. I've taken my fair share of computers apart and put them back together. All the supplies I needed were avaliable in the University Lab. Now I have to take apart the computer I use for my class. Which I can't do. Has anyone out there taken the Networking class at Kaplan University?

I have a compaq that is not in use right now and I want to use that for my class computer, but I don't think my prof will go for it.

Help! Advice greatly appreciated.
