Cant get the side panel off my case!!!
On my second build I have a Ultra UV Wizard Case (looks like this: http://www.ultraproducts.com/product...&productID=253 ). However, the stupid side panel is stuck and wouldnt slide off. I've put a LOT of force and it wouldnt come off!! This happened the last time I tried to pop the case off and I remember somehow I managed to get it off after a lot of work. I cannot get this thing off, I slides off maybe a millimeter and its stuck. AHHHH! Is there anything I can do???

Okay, nevermind, I got it off!! I guess the side was bent or something so I had to use the other side of a hammer to pry the panel out. Jezz that took forever. I might just have to use this as an excuse to go case shopping!!!!

WJWheels, you should think about it though... the reason we put computers is closed boxes is for protection, and to promote internal airflow thx to the fans.

Hah, yeh, my case is kinda boring, it would be nice to get a new one, but I'd rather put that money toward s'more RAM or maybe a vid card. Plus, the case is perfectly functional, and I screwed the panel on without having it latch on, so this problem wouldnt happen again.

Whooey! Those little plastic excuses for fans quit going around a long time ago. The only fan I need is the one on my desk blowing into that open side. It keeps the dust down too.

Last time I saw that side panel, it had burnt pizza all over it.

LOL. I've had my side panels off for about a week now. Slowly making progress on cleaning it out, but always end up putting it off for another day. Hopefully get to it today.
