For the next guy trying to tear apart one of these cases, the bottom tabs on the front face plate pinch together, but the top tabs are different. I don't have the computer in front of me right now, but look at the edge of the tab. One side is sloped. That shows you whether that tab has to go up or down. Just think about which direction it will have to go to slide IN to the case. The inside top tab is the most difficult to manipulate.

You saved my bacon. Thanks for posting this. I just upgraded a client's machine. Made me look like the expert. : )

Thanks for the video. HP Website says ( Standard memory 1024MB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM memory (2x512MB for ultimate performance) (expandable up to 2x1GB) ). Did you have any issues after upgrading memory to 4GB ? I have also heard that you can only address 3.25 GB if you have 32 bit OS (eg Vista home premium) that come with this desktop ?
