OK, I have the Vanquish II which has the Corsair Graphite Series 230T Case and I've had this for over a year now and have cleaned it a bit on and off but could NEVER for the life of me get this darn front panel of the case off. I know there's 6 clips or whatever that I have to release but the problem is that the ones at the very top just do not want to release. I've pushed on them both with lots of force and they're just digging into my fingers which is pretty painful. I've tried even using a dime as a shield for pushing them in but they just don't detach. Any help?

What's worked for some, is to slide out the DVD drive, a couple of screws possibly on either side,  for much better access to the locking tabs.   I don't have that case but it has made life easier..

Lets us know and good luck. Big%20Smile

Edit... the drive might just be locked in with release tabs.  Even easier

I know this struggle, it is very real.

The combination of the DVD drive and the row of buttons/ports across the top hold that front fascia fast in place. The first time I got it loose I thought I snapped both tabs. The problem is that you can free both tabs but the drive and stuff keep it there.

So, slide out the DVD drive, as suggested and see if that works.

Also, if you have a butter knife or something you can wedge between the front and the case when you think you've got one or the other side's tab free.

Yes, it can be a real pain in the bottom. I wish you luck.

Thanks a bunch, I had a feeling that the DVD drive could possible be the problem but I didn't want to fiddle with it, I think that may as well be the issue.
