If you want to wait I'll go to the office tommorow and get my panels and make sure, but, if I remember right you have to take the side panels off then snap the bottom out first.

I've got one. It's easy to remove. First remove the left side panel, the one with the two rotating locks. This will free up the locking rod that that holds the front panel in place. It is spring loaded and you'll see it to the front of the hard drive rack. Now grasp under the front panel. Easiest to do with the front panel overhanging a table top by a little bit. Pull out on the bottom of the front panel and it will pop free. Then holding it at about a 45 degree angle, drop it down and out from under the top control panel. Enjoy.

Ok, but i was having trouble trying to get the right side panel off (if you're looking at the front of the case on the right) is there a screw at the top left of the panel, because it was getting stuck or something.

You can't remove the right side panel until you remove the front panel. Behind the front panel are two srews that hold the right side panel in place just like in back.

on the front panel there are wires connected to the top of the fan grill that go back to the case , but there is a plastic part that you cannot pull out of the case preventing me from completely seperating the front cover from the case. is there a way to seperate it completely?

The wires have a connector on the end that just plugs into the receiving plastic connector. Just unplug it. Don't pull on the wires, just the plug.

YA, i pulled the plug out but it only goes into the case not out because there is a little lip on the outside of the plastic thing. so i think i'm doing what you're telling me to do. or am i doing it wrong?

[citercian{007}monk]

nevermind, i figured it out. thank you for the help.

You're welcome. Enjoy it, that's an awesome case. Be careful of the motherboard tray. The area where the i/o shield inserts is easy to bend. Make sure you support is well while you are snapping the shield in place. Nice to be able to remove the tray and assemble everything before you put the mobo in the case.

[citercian{007}monk]

should i put the power supply in before i put all the stuff in the mobo tray? because i could see how it would be a tight fit with the psu in there already.

Either way will work. Might be easier if the wires are not in the way.
