Very easy question. I just got an Antec Sonata and I can release the clips from the left side but it seems to be hinged on the other side (the side that does not come off). OK this has to be easy right???? How the heck do I remove this bezel???

Thanks

Are you sure you are thinking of the Sonata???

One of the case is no removeable. There is no clips on the bottom. I was able to figure out how to check the filter.

Help......

Funny, I had the same question when building my system with the Sonata.
There are three clips on the other side also.. "un-clip" the bottom two clips
on the other side; pull gently outward.. thats it

Yeah I ahd trouble removing it too, one of the clips kept on getting stuck and I didn't want to pull to hard and snap it.

I had A LOT of trouble removing the bezel from my ANTEC SLK3700AMB .... are all ANTEC bezels so troublesome??? Anyway...that's exactly what I did...that is unclipped all the clips and then just pulled outward from the top..it didn't want to budge, but I kept pulling and hoping for the best...because frankly that's all I could do after trying for well over an HOUR...and finally it did come off. I was a 90% sure that I was gonna break something..but didn't :)

Thanks for the tips but this is the most poorly designed bezel I have ever seen.:(

Both sides of the case should be removeable then I could reach the top right hand side one. This was the only one I could not reach and unclip. Of course this one broke. It will be much easier to get off next time. :laugh:

Removing the hard drive trays helped me. But then again, my arms are like toothpicks so I just reached in there and unclipped that sucker.

The 3 on the left side are easy to get to.

Take out the HDD trays and you can get to the bottom two on the right. The last clip is on the top behind the 5 1/4 racks. It's not that hard...

Flip right and left, depending which way you look at it :D
