Remove Case

How do I remove the case on a Dimension 8200 desk top computer? I would appreciate a direct answer to this.
I would also like to know where I could have found the answer myself. Everything I found pertained to older computers with screws holding them together. Is there an old-fashioned manual for this computer that has things like elementary diagrams of the computer and the nuts and bolts of how to repair, upgrade etc.?

    The instructions are here They should be in your user's manual, but the site above is reached through the Reference tab after which you select System|Dimension|8200|Adding and Removing Parts.

    KathyKelley,

    The 8200 is a clam shell design. To open it, lay the case on its right hand side as you're looking at the front of it. Then, press the 2 buttons located at the back of the top and bottom of the case, and lift.
