Compaq Presario 5900T Case

This might seem like a silly question. I'm fixing someone's computer, and I need to replace the video card. However, I can't get the case off and get into it. Can anyone tell me how it's done, or point me somewhere with directions? Thanks!

Well, I don't seem to have a case that slides off. The front part of the tower opens up to reveal the cd-rom drives; the color of the case is grey and the front bezel is white. There is a latch covering the PCI devices, and I removed it. The steps that are described in the webpage don't seem to apply. Any more help anyone can give me?

If it doesn't have a removeable side, does it have three screws in the back, one top and one on each side down low? That's the common way for most older Compaqs. Or look for a screw behind the top of the front plastic cover. Might need a flashlight to look in there.
