I want to install my OC board, but I have NO idea how to take apart my catleap. There are like 8 screws around the outside, and they are all out...........but now what? Its the Q277... model.

The frame probably snaps together with molded-in friction tabs like most monitors do. See if they molded a slot somewhere to start popping it open and if not, choose an inconspicuous area at least a few inches away from any corner. Slide in a knife blade and gently pop the two halves apart then slide something along the seam popping each friction tab as you go.

You need to put off the front bezel; it's held on by plastic clips with a significant amount of force. You'll want a plastic putty knife to wedge into the seam; using something harder is liable to scratch the plastic significantly if the knife slips. Once you have one clip popped, it's relatively simple to pop subsequent ones.
