How do you remove a Dell Dimension 8300 tower cover?
There are going to be a few small screws on the the back right side (if you are looking at the back of the tower. Remove the the screws from along the edge of the side ( you may have to loosen both sides ) and the case slides towards you then lifts off. If it doesn't budge use a flat head screwdriver to pry in between the cover and tower case and gently slide it towards you. Trust mr it won't break cause it's metal and if it bends you can use pliers to bend it back to shape. Hope the info helps GOD Bless You.

Hey Createit, thanks for the link...but...it isn't working :( Might be its jammed? Any other suggestions?
Buttons on sides push in but I don't feel/hear a release...they don't seem to be stuck. The cover does lift a bit on at the top, bottom does not want to budge. I don't want to pry for fear it will break... Only want to do this because its filthy dirty...brown fuzzy wads coming out from the inside! (this tower was given to me)
Thanks for your help ~ guess I'll keep working at it to figure out the problem.
