Not if your careful. it should be noted for posterity (or something)
here that the Apple tool for removing the top two Torx screws on compact
mac cases (SE/30 and the like) is a large hex-key! If it feels like it's
not going to move get a torx head for it rather than forcing it, the
hex-keys are just a quick fix if you don't have one to hand.

Yeh but if you don't have the right one at the right time you have to go
ppt and buy it and that takes time. If it is loose enough to get out
with a hex-key your problem is solved. Having said this you could go mad
and buy a screwdriver with changeable heads and a whole set of torx
heads :).

There are 4 holding the plastic front panel onto the steel case shell.
