How to open Dell Dimension 4100 tower case

[Yakov]

Hi,
I need to open my dell dimension 4100 case to install new dvd burner. But i don't have any idea about it. I never opened the case of the tower. Can anyone help me with this?

Thank you for all suggestions.

Right panel at the back of the computer slides off and you can open the system. There must be some tabs at the top and bottom edges which can be depress. There are two oval shaped buttons, one on the top and one on the bottom at the rear of the case. Push these buttons to split and unfold the case to 90 degrees.

By removing the large side panel you can open the tower and check the motherboard. Look for a knob or latch on the back of the computer. It moves up and down. Remove any screws near it and then push the knob downward and hold it. Then slide the side panel to open.
