Need help installing DVD burner

[ikickpigeons]

I feel like such a n00b asking for help on installing my DVD drives but I just cannot figure it out. I have built four other computer in the past. None of which I ever had problems. But anyways... On myCOOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW case I cannot figure out exactly how to remove the front bezel without breaking it. I can't call COOL MASTER because it's an international call and the time difference between the US and Taiwan. I figure that someone here might be able to help because this case is very popular on newegg.com I even believe that it's the most popular COOL MASTER. Once again here's the link -->Clicky

So someone please help me on how to remove the front bezel. Or else I'm going to break it or send it back and get a case I already know.


BTW the directions given are complete crap.

The Centurion 5 has five external 5.25? bays and below that one external 3.5? bay for a floppy drive. The covers for these bays are easily removed by unscrewing them from the bezel instead of just popping them out.
Hope this helps.

that does help. Funny how they said "gently" cuz it took quite a lot of force to pull mine off. I even think I heard a cracking noise. Anyways, thank you Old Hippie.

I take off both side panels and pinch the plastic things that go through the holes in the case from the bottom of the case. You can then pull from the bottom of the front panel and take it off. Once you do that you can take off the drive bay cover from the back of the front panel.

I don't know if I explained it well enough for you to understand.

Nope you did. That's actually exactly how I did it. I pinched the black things by mistake though. That part was done in my effort to try to rip the front off. BTW thank you for your help anyways

Oh well, thanks for saying so. I usually don' t hear if my advice helped or not. (probably doesn't most of the time)

I pulled off the front without pinching the black plugs.

Yes, I think that works if you pull from the bottom at the front. But, I was afraid if I use too much force, the front panel would come off real quick then the computer would just drop to the floor like a rock. Doing it like that when the case is empty is fine.

I was just afraid it would damage components inside if I did to it the "manly way". I chose the "gay way" instead. (Just kidding, I'm not gay.)

Drop to the floor? What?
