Opening the case
Remove rubber feet to reveal screws. Unscrew them, lift off the bottom. Then use a spudger to pry off the connector panel plastic. It is held in place by multiple clips and isn't easy to remove. You can use a small screwdriver to push the clip ends a bit farther inside while prying with the spudger. Once it is off, slide the innards out from the casing. Then separate the inner casing halves by unscrewing the screws. The heatsinks are held in place by clips.
