Help Opening a Dimension XPS 8100 Case

[GiantPandaMan]

Anybody have a clue on how to open one of these things. It's already past its warranty and my buddy wants me to see why it won't boot. Problem is, I can't figure out how to open it without breaking it.

On Back of case, slide Pad lock ring away from Panel.
Push Cover release button on Front cover (lower left hand corner).

Panel cover shoould pop open. Lift up to remove.

Thanks. Man, felt like such a noob not being able to figure out how to open up a case. Would have helped if my buddy had kept his instruction manuals... doh
