How do you remove the front door from the Chieftec/Antec SX1040?

[MisterMac9]

I have the Cheiftec version of the Antec SX1040 from Newegg. I'd like to remove the door that covers the front bays. How do I do it that I could reinstall it later if I wanted? I don't see anyway to get it off other than break it off.

See those white latches next to the top drive cage and the bottom next to the purple fan holder? THere are totally 6 latches. You have to work on a pair (side by side) at a time. I usually unlatch the bottom pair first.
push the pair latches outward and pull the front bezel out.

Thanks Overdoze. That will help me.

I actually did this just yesterday... planning on mounting a cold cathode behind the many horizontal slots on the grill on the front, should be real nice looking. Yeah, just pull the 6 clips outward and pull it off

Open the door and you'll see a slit in the plastic near the top hinge. That is actually a tab to release the door. While lightly pressing down on the back side of the tab, while tipping the doow outwards. Once the door releases from the top hinge, pull the door vertically out of the bottom hinge and the door will be out of the way.

Hope this helps.

Thanks LoneWolf1. It took about 4 seconds using your technique!
