How To: Remove Your PC's Side Panel

[OopsyXP]

Your PC case looks sweet, although since you said it's cheap it probably has bad space management and overheats or something right?

[Yoda8232]

@OopsyXP Thanks. I use this as my somewhat daily PC/media PC in my room and the space is amazing and cooling is great. It's a full size ATX tower so space is not an issue. Believe it or not it has more space than my Antec 902. It has a lot of fans. So cooling is great.

Called a Philips

some dont let u remove the right panel because they are dumb, no the dont let u remove it because the motherboard is on there u dumb ass

[cagetheelephantipad4]

hard to do it with my hand- thats what she said

[mtboxxx]

What kind of tower is that? Anyone know??

[Yoda8232]

@mtboxxx Xion II Black Pearl, it's not a good case. I got it because I cheaped out but it looked ok from the outside and included a basic PSU. PSU still works fine even with HD 4770 which it should not be able to handle.

@Yoda8232 Yoda plz make a vid of your i5 setup man!!!!!!!!

[KINGhotaru11]

[Borchyn]

Awesome! Thank you so much! now i can safely clean my the dust from this old machine to stop it from overheating! *two Thumbs up* you're the best!

[dardraa]

this is a tutorial for retards. :)

[Javro]

cheers man, I've never done stuff like this before and your video helped loads, I'm off to hoover out my comp right now

[Yoda8232]

@Javro No problem, good luck. :)

You really should mention not doing this on carpet. If you're moving around the carpet with the motherboard exposed, you could fry it from static electricity without even knowing it. All it takes is one shock.

[Yoda8232]

You'll only fry anything if it touches the carpet that's not 100%, but yes if your sitting on the carpet and there is something in the system running you could destroy it but it's very unlikely.

[xBuzz996]

@Yoda8232 so if the pc is shutdown and no cables connected, is it safe to open it then?

[UnkMango]

How do I remove the top case of a Powerlogic Azzura 2000? Its blocking the 2 top screws of mah Power supply which I need to change it

[Yoda8232]

You can't usually take the top panel off a case, they are held in by rivets. Well you could take it off, but it would be hard putting back on.

[CheatEnginer]

Lol i figured this out myself. You dont need to be an expert on it.

[Ebayrocks99]

You helped* me a lot. Thanks so much for this video. It took forever for me to find something like this! Thanks!

[Ebayrocks99]

Thanks Yoda8232. This really gelped me a lot. You did a great job!

[Yoda8232]

But not everyone can spell...

[OneShotTenKills]

How about "How to breathe"?

[skylineaddict]

Back to the very basics ey?

[Yoda8232]

People have to start off somewhere, I need to make more of these when I have time.

[skylineaddict]

"How to unscrew a screw." You should do that just for the hell of it. It will make my day!

[Yoda8232]

Haha maybe. xD

[OSDCrusher]

I have the same case. It's nice.

[sokomsPHINEST]

hahahaha " So, you stick it in, and twist it!"

1:13 lol.

[Yoda8232]

That's what she said. :P

[filipkir]

A weird thing happened to me. I have similar case like this one. With a small difference the side fan is above the CPU.

I disabled the side fan, and voila. The GPU is 2-6 Celsius colder. The CPU is 1-2 Celsius hotter but that is completely irrelevant because the CPU was cold already.

(30c idle and 45c full load)

[Yoda8232]

Yeah it's odd but makes sense, let me explain. Easy way to explain without getting all complicated is the side fan blew the cold air down on the CPU fan/sink thus pushing some hot air onto the GPU. But when the side fan off it doesn't happen.

[filipkir]

There is another good thing about disabling the side fan. 80% of the dust that was getting inside because the fan was sucking all the dust in.

When you buy your desired graphic card you should try and measure the temps on your GPU and compare them. Maybe you will lower your temps like I did. It's worth a try. I found out about this quite by accident. I was experimenting lol

[Yoda8232]

Fan filters anyone?

[filipkir]

I can't find anywhere in my country. They don't sell them

[Yoda8232]

Make one, it's not that hard.

[filipkir]

I don't know how. And I don't have a big problem with dust. Every 3 months I clean my PC with vacuum cleaner.

You should see my friend's PC. He hasn't cleaned his PC in 3 years. All the motherboard is grey because it's covered with dust. Also that was the first time to see a spider web in the PC :-)

That spider has build a small network of spiderweb in the PC lol

[Yoda8232]

Google "make your own dust filter PC" and go the first link. :P

Yeah I've seen tons of PC's like that at my work. One was so dirty we couldn't work on it haha.

[filipkir]

Thanks for the advices. So did you had any luck in finding a job, and in your buying new Graphic Card. You wanted to buy the radeon 4870, right?

[Yoda8232]

No problem. :)

Nah I didn't get it, I'm looking at a HD 4830 if I'm going to run anything on this shitty PSU. But if I get a new PSU I'll get something better, depends if I can get a job so I don't have to wait forever lol.

[xxxMuffin]

lmfao, best 'how to' video ever!

[Yoda8232]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed. :)

[PSNDonutDude]

how do you take off the top panel i tried and tried but i couldnt figure it out... wait can you even get them off

[Yoda8232]

Some cases to not allow you to take off the top panel for an a unknown reason. If there are no screws at for the top panel only odd "pushed in" like screws then you cannot.

You could still take it off but there is no point of doing it.

[PSNDonutDude]

yeah mine has screws on the front behind the front of the case right after i found that i read what yuo wrote

[Drifter2080]

i like your vids i subbed

[Yoda8232]

Glad you are interested. :)

[joshua12345676]

you took your whole inerts out of the case to do this tutorial? haha :P

[Yoda8232]

No I had to RMA my mobo, didn't you see what happened? I made a video...

[meekoman25]

mine opens up differently then yours.

[Yoda8232]

Yes there are many ways cases open, this is the most common way.
