Here they are: 1. Remove front piece by inserting flat screw driver into slots and applying a little pressure to release front. 2. Remove (2) screws on back, near top, that holds plastic cover. Remove plastic, and plastic top. 3. Remove plastic cover over back plate of motherboard, then remove (2) screws holding motherboard in, and remove the motherboard. 4. Remove top plastic cover by sliding towards the front of the machine, and the lifting up. Don't force it up until its been moved back or it will damage the top. If the case won't move forward, you can tap the back corners, but be careful or you'll damage the plastic. 5. Remove two screws at back corners. The case will get a bit flimsy after these are removed. 6. Slide top plate towards front of machine, and lift and remove. 7. Remove the screw hold bracket fan to case, towards the front of the machine. DO NOT attempt to remove bracket, it won't. 8. Remove the (3) power connectors from power supply: (1) large one that is main power, (1) that goes to front of machine to power switch, and (1) for fan. 9. Remove cables from video and other expansions on back (if needed). 10. Lift the rear, top plate/bracket off the case by lifting up and moving the bracket off the fan. If you have difficulty, its because the plate is set in two sets of slots, (2) on power supply, (2) on right side of case. 11. Remove screw in front of power supply holding it down. 12. Lift out power supply. 13. Installation is reversal of removal instructions. Let me know if any of this is unclear, or difficult to follow. --> Russ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
