How the hell do I open this microatx case?

[BD2003]

Theres no screws, and from what I can tell it opens up and out, but it just wont open. The guy in the store couldnt figure it out, but he only looked at it for a minute so I figured what the hell, I can figure it out at home.

Theres tiny little notches at the ends, but they dont appear to do anything, and Ive tried.

It didnt come with instructions. Its a black and silver microatx desktop case.

Is there some magic secret to opening this thing? Anyone have a clue?

Try a can opener

what kind of case is it? i am sure it is some latches or something.

Its a small book PC microatx desktop case. It somehow opens forward and up, but apparently theres some technique to it that I'm just not seeing. If theres latches, theyre hidded ridiculously well.

It could be one of those cases where you have to pop off the front

It seems like I do have to pop off the front, and it seems removeable, but how?

Pry it off with a flat screwdriver.

I have an old computer that has the kind of case where the front has to be pulled off. Just see if you can wiggle it off. Once you get it off then you grab the outer shell and pull it towards the front.

That would risk breaking it, and there has got to be an easier way.

If I cant get it open Ill have to return it, but I really really like it.

P.S. Some of those Fscking things are like a rubics cube. I hate HP.

Anyone have any space I could upload pics to?

 

[BD2003]

I took pics but you cant tell anything from it. Its apparent the front needs to come off, but I cant figure how the hell to do it. And I dont want to break it, cause I certainly cant return it in pieces.

Anyone have experience with desktop cases where the front has to come off? Is there a latch somewhere? Or is it just pure brute strength?
