Has anyone with a Vanquish 5 discovered an easy way to remove the front panel to clean the fan/filters? (My old Lian-Li case had a front panel that was easily removed)

Hiyas GMARCH. This is something I wrote some time ago, I'm just copy/pasting from another thread.

The Vanquish Case is usually the Corsair 230T. Check the pics to make sure it's the one you have.....

I, too, have the Vanquish in the Corsair 230T case. I've posted a number of times on taking apart and cleaning the filters, etc... let me try to get some links on this reply...

Step by step with no pictures... http://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/how-do-i-open-and-clean-my-vanquish-lvl-4-tidf24355-kwffascia/

Here's one with pictures of the clips and tabs that db188 referred to... http://www.digitalstorm.com/forums/removing-dust-from-the-mesh-filter-on-vanquish-tidf22849/

Now, as I've mentioned earlier, as that front fascia is all one plastic piece with the mesh glued on, I take it off and run it under water to get all the little dust bunnies out of there. Just make sure that it is completely dry when you put it back. (PSU filter too.. underneath)

Hope this helps. Enjoy your machine.   

Here is another thread about cleaning. This one really focuses on the Metro Vacuum that ArkansasWoman has introduced to us all. This little cleaning machine has paid for itself twice over now for me.

Any other questions, just let us know.

My pleasure, glad to help.

As for fitting fat fingers in there, I can tell you it gets easier. The first one or two times that you try to get the top two tabs off is painful and when it finally does pop off you'll think you broke something... but, you'll get used to it.

After 2.5 years I still make a point to pull mine off once a month to get in there and clean up the fans and filters to keep everything cool and neat. I kinda like this machine and want to keep it working as well as it can.
