Hey guys,

Just bought the Thermaltake View 27, and I like the design so far. The biggest problem is that the directions are completely useless and not comprehensive. I'm trying to remove the front panel in order to install intake fans, but it seems very tight, and I don't want to break anything. I can't seem to find any screws to remove or tabs to press. Any ideas?

Thanks!

The gallery on Thermaltake's site returns a server error for me, but the (tiny) .gif at the bottom of the product page seems to indicate that it's held on by plastic "posts" through the metal case front. It should simply pull off, but will probably require some force the first few times. From the pictures, there are 4 pairs of posts down each side of the front plate. It's a similar setup to my Fractal R4, and its face plate comes off quite easily if I pull straight forward.
