You flip a latch on the back and the side panel opens up. It also unlocks the 4 HD sleds which have thumbscrews for attaching a drive.

Ram sits on trays that slide in/out.

PCI cards are not held by individual screws. There is a single plate with 2 thumbscrews that secures them.




They are beautifully crafted machines. I hadn't seen inside one until my Forensics instructor was showing me his. He says when you work them hard enough the fan kicks into a mode that can only be described as "liftoff". He is really who got me into the mac camp.
