If it is anything like the last 2 PB computers I worked
on, there are fastenings both front and rear. (The case
brand, by the way, was Enlight.) At the rear, there are
several small screws that clearly attach the case housing
to the chassis. In the front, on the left and right sides
on the bottom, there are two recesses in which can be found
plastic 'tabs'. Pulling these toward the front of the case
(quite hard--can be a matter of 'pinching' them with forefinger
on the tab and thumb on the case front), then pulling the
front plastic cover of the case toward you and up should pivot
it away from the chassis. You may have to wiggle it a bit to
get it around the floppy and CD housings. Once the front of
the case is removed and the mounting screws are removed at
the back of the case, it should be possible to slide the
cover back about an inch, then up to remove it.
