Default OT: need help with alienware computer

can anybody help me about this, I need to know how to open the case so I can see if it needs cleaning. It is an area 51 model 5300 desk top. There is a little side panel that you can open and insert a key and then there is a slide type thing I can push but nothing happens. I have contacted there support but unless I pay alot of money, for a service contract they will not help. Also the manual does not explain it either. Tried Best Buy and Circuit city and no help. Any help would be apprec.

Regards

Chuck

Lol, I had exactly the same trouble a fortnight ago. If it's anything like my Alienware case you have to resort to an age old favourite: Remove the screws at the back. Once unscrewed (there are three on mine,) I pushed the slider and it opened up fine.
