Need help with computer case!!
purchased a computer system from a company in Toronto, and when it
was shipped to me on Friday, one of the "eyes" of the "Ogre Black" Case made by NIKAO was laying in the bottom of the box!
Can anyone explain (if it is even possible) how to open the
case so that I might access the eye hole so that I can put it in its
proper place?
I was very disappointed as I had spent so much money on my computer,
and I LOVE this case!! It looks fabulous! (Well, not as awesome as the ones people have created on this board, but nicer than any of my others!!)
Any assisstance would be greatly appreciated!!
PS. I can't open the right side as shown in the first picture (It is not connected like a regular case, it is seperate) because there is a light or fan attached to the side that would rip off and wreck something!
Re: Need help with computer case!!
First remove both side panels from the case by removing the screws on the back lip.. The fan will NOT rip off....Then look inside to see if the entire front plastic bezel (the part with the "eyes". its probably one piece) is held on with screws, or with plastic pins and rubber grommets. if it's held on with screws, just use a small phillips screwdriver to remove them, usually 6 scres, 3 on each side of the bezel. Then just pull off.
If its held on with pins and rubber grommets, just gently grasp and tug the front bezel at the bottom and pull upwards. It will come off fairly easily afyter some slight resistance. There will be a bundle of wires (called a harness) attached to the bezel..DONT PANIC...there is probably enough slack to allow the bezel to lay forward so you can put that blue eye lense back on. Use a few drops of super glue VERY sparingly to attach it back, unless it snaps into place firmly. chances are it just shook loose during shipping.

Thank you SO much!! I got it apart; the connecters were plastic posts.
The eye snapped in place and everything went back together nicely!!
You have absolutely made my day!! I know my problem was just cosmetic, but when you pay so much for something its nice to have it start out perfect. If things break later on (hopefully not!) its not such a horrible deal!
Thanks again C-Sky!!:banana:

Hey i'm glad it worked out. I knew your could do it, its just a matter of getting over the fear of opening stuff up. Once ya do, you can do it any time. This is how modders are born :)
