Anyone familiar with older IBM tower cases?
I'm helping setup a computer training lab for a local school. There are some older IBM tower PCs donated by the local government (used).
I thought I was familiar with most PC cases, but these are really unusual. I'm trying to remove the hard drive & have noticed that the hard drive mount tilts from inside the case & the drive must slide out of the front of the case! Strange.
Anyway, I cannot get the front panel completely off. The top part refuses to budge & I'm afraid I will break it if I try any more. The front cover is not flush with the top of the case. It extends about an inch above & seems to serve as a "handle" to pick it up.
I currently don't have the exact model, but it is along the A51 style of cabinet. I have been unable to find directions how to completely remove this front panel through online searches.
Any IBM techs out there? This is really embarrassing!
