Anyone know how to take apart a Western Digital My Book External HD?

Got in on the $60 AR for a 250GB WD My Book. Trying to get the HD out to put into a spare computer. Anyone have any ideas on how to take it apart?
 
Generally speaking, from my experience in computer recycling, if you remove all visible screws, check under all labels for screws, the case should fall open. If not, then it's held together with plastic snaps - a flathead screwdriver in whatever visible gap between pieces should make life easy (assuming you don't want to reuse the case)
