Anyone know how I open the case? The side panels look like they should slide out but they dont and I dont want to force anything.

Cheers

385995 2005-09-04 03:07:00 The front of the case pulls off from the bottom (there is an area to put your hand in there), revealing 2 screws either side for each panel. Myth (110)

The front of the case (Plastic Shroud) will unclip
Use a largish flat bladed screwdriver between the Shroud and the metal side panels to ease if off.
Be gentle as the clips that hold it on are easily broken
You'll then see the screws that hold the side panels on

385999 2005-09-04 04:45:00 One of my machines has a PC Co case, and it caused a bit of puzzlement first time I tried to open it. Soon figured out the front plastic piece can be hauled off. I think they choose a case design like that to slow down inquisitive fingers ... :D Jen (38)
