Hi guys!

I have recently bought an IBM Aptiva 141 (check the link please) http://mastodonpc.tripod.com/personal/2144-141.html

I would like to add it more RAM and a video card that has 3D accelerator but I just cant dismantle the case. It seems I should drive the case backwards but it feels so tight and seems like its locked or has some screws. I have dismantle the back cover,but it has no screws. (Only for power supply and it doesnt help)

Anyone knows what should I do to disassemble the cover ? Should I do something special or is it just stuck there?

Thanks!

IBM used to have really tight fitting cases, at least the PS/1 and PS/2 had these. I would try to use a flat head screwdriver and twist it slightly between the case and the front bezel to see if it loosens the case.

I have done it! I have found its manual online and I ve learned that it has a kind of button that releases the cover. Thank you sf78!
