If you have the Corsair 230T case here is something I wrote awhile ago about cleaning the front mesh filter and fans.

static bracelet and damp qtip...worked for me in the past. if/When I use air- I hold the fan in place to prevent overspinning. Angry ball bearings are something I don't want to deal with :)

Is it the Corsair 230T case? You've just got to wiggle it a bit. Check the post I linked above, the front cover is a bit of a stubborn mule to get off...

Yea, I have that dvd player, too.

Some have removed the DVD player to get better access to the top tabs.   The DVD just unplugs from the back and quick release tabs, I believe, release it.
