Another 'how do you open it' thread.

[IKE]

I've got a Gateway SX2803-25E desktop tower and I'd like to open it and give it a blowing out.....I've looked for buttons, latches, screws etc and tried using Google for instructions on how to open it with no luck.

Anyone know how to get into it ?.

I thought I had a can of compressed air but after looking around apparently I don't so I guess I'll have to go buy a can.

Not sure if this will help, Ike, but eHow has this short article ...

How To Open A Gateway Desktop

I believe you have the newer style midtower? The E series?

From the article ...

[h=2]E-Series Midtower Case[/h]

• Turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.
  
• Look for a release handle on the top of the new midtower case.
  
• Push the release handle inward.
  
• Swing the case down from the top to open it.
