My son acquired an old 486 computer. It's a tower case (thing is huge and
heavy), possibly a workstation of some type. It contains a  3.5 floppy, a
small hard drive, and some other goodies that don't appear to be working;
e.g.,  5.25 floppy, optical disc drive, CD Disc drive, and etc..
I believe it's a Compaq as that's the brand on the monitor and keyboard.
Seems like a good project for him (me ;->) to fool around with, but the
problem is we can't get the case open. There is a lock on the top of the
front panel, but we don't have a key for it. Any suggestions as to how to
get into this thing without destroying the case? Thanx in advance for all
help.
