    Okay, so I figured out that in order to open my computer case, I gotta push the buttons on the top and the bottom. I do that, but I dunno which way to pull :S I tried pulling out, up, out then up, everything I could think out w/o breaking it, but nothing happened :wacko:

    I got my info from this site if anyone can figure out how to open it properly: http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/test....php/2240311%20

    I also figured out that I guess my computer can only fit a "low profile 8X AGP card with a low profile bracket" becuase of its small size. I guess that means a smaller one with less power so basically the one I was going to buy, won't fit =/ Anyone know anything about these lower profile gfx cards?

    Thanks

    Normally the gfx card is attached to the side of the case with 2 screws once there off there should be a little leaver that you flick up on the side of your gfx card once that is pulled up then unhook that side then wiggle it out if its stiff. and to install the new one do the same but reverse.

    There are screws on the back of the case. I know their are, i used to have a dimension 4400. They would be along the edge, by where the exhaust from the fan goes. You have to unscrew those first. Then, you press both buttons (top and bottom), and you push them in opposite directions (for me, I push the top part to the right, the bottom to the left.)
