lol I Cant even OPEN my new case, FFS :(

TruPlaya · 26th January 2003, 4:11 PM

I just bought this case from The Disc Shop.

and I cant even open the side panels to install my shit.

FFS

I aint a total newbir, Ive worked with alot of cases, from 710Bs, to some server types and I have no idea how to even this one.

The only screw at the back (everything else is pop rivetted) is a single one holding the top to the back chassis (pic). Ive taken it out, thinking you need to remove the top then the side comes off, but it [top] doesnt wanna come off. I cant lift it up. I can't even see how the front comes off :/

Anyone have any ideas?

sigh

undo all screws u can see exposed

and yank on everything u can.. when i say yank, as in give it a firm tug, but not too firm as to damage it

lay the case on it's side and have a look at the bottom of the case.

There is only one screw at the back, the other ones are for the PSU.

Obviously you don't need to undo the top to get the side panels off, by looking at the pic anyway..

Look at the picture, see how the back is only a thin piece of metal, thats the same for the buttom aswell.

I'm led to assume it slides out, either backwards or downwards, but neither work.

This was the show case :/

can you pop those drive bay covers out?
pop them out and have a look inside the case to see which way the tabs go.

OK, I finally got it.

Thanks for the help guys.

I needed to pull the top back (found it out by taking out the front drive bays) and then the sides pulled up and out.

Little unconventional, but all good.

Cheers
