Another 'don't try this at home' design from Apple
There are two slots under the front face of the computer
Slip a flat blade screwdriver into the right slot and gently pull the
top case slightly away from the chassis (with your second and third hand)
Then slip the screwdriver into the left slot and do the same.
The case will slide forward and off.
UUUgly design....
Cheers...Michael
ps...that case is a good example of why god made PowerComputing clones
