Assuming it didn't come with a Friendly Manual for Reading The, did you try removing the left front screws, or all the front screws? I've had several cases where you had to remove the front panel before the side would come off.

just took out the front screws....no dice

this is really annoying, i have every screw taken out of this thing, both front and back and the frickin side pannel wont come off....

nothing like getting a new computer and not being able to assemble it because the side panels on the case wont come off...:roll:

Did you remove the front panel, or just the screws? Try taking the front off, it might expose latches or something . . .

nothing....

i pay $100 for a case and the damn thing doesnt come with a manual so i can take of the side panels. ive made about 20 computers and ive never had this kind of trouble taking off the sides...it sounds like there is something catching the panel as i try to slide it off, on both sides. im quickly losing my patience, if i cant get these panels off soon i think i might implode.

D'oh!

(I'm assuming since you're not PhantomRacoon that you did try visiting their website for docs)

My last suggestion (besides a hammer) is to google for reviews, one might describe / show pics of how to remove it.

Could be you have to slide it some back then pull out and up.

Pic didn't show newegg picture could see the tab in the hole on the other side but nvm you opened it.
