grab a multimeter and measure the voltage   

or check the charger that came with the battery and see what its charging them with

also ,  my guess is that each of the small yellow batteries are 1.2V

I would say that the yellow ones are prob not 1.2v as they look a bit bigger than a single battery, to me it looks like a small pack (like maybe 3.6v or something)

Paulstreat is right. If you are not planning on using them for a robot they might be useful for something, like for running a computer fan.

Its not that hard

However some computers require you to have certain bits , so i would go get a jewelers screwdriver set( i think thats what its called)

Or you could just rip off the case ( if you dont plan on using it for a chassis or something) , take a hammer, a chisel, and a saw.

all computer cases are held together by either screws or stuff slides into each other to lock in place.

regular sized screwdriver and some investigating is all you need
