Okay so i'm trying to take off the front panel of the case so i can clean it (Its kinda dusty). What i have to do is take off the little latch thingys. There is 6, 3 on each side. the bottom 4 are easy but the top 2 will not budge. I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or if have to unscrew something. But any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rockcem ... yea, it can be a bit disconcerting first, but all 6 latches are the same. You have to get your fingers in there and push them back. The first time I did it, I thought I broke something.

The top two latches being in a 'blind' area, along with the fact that the power buttons and USB ports are there, make it necessary to try to get those two undone first. THEN go to the bottom ones. I found that if I undo the bottom four latches, it puts an additional twisting strain on the top two.

I hope that helps. Oh, btw, if you're cleaning filters, don't forget the slide out filter on the bottom for the PSU. Somewhere on these forums I posted some pics... I'm going to see if I can find them and drop a link into this post.

Good luck!!!

Here it is...

As you can see, the latches on the top are exactly the same as the ones below. Best bet is get them first... work top to bottom.

I've had my cover off at least a dozen times and those two latches still give me a bit of a bother. (Could be my catchers mitt sized hands, though.)

Hope this helps.
