I have a corsair 200r windowless case. I have removed the thumbnail screws and am trying to open the panel but it will not move. I have tried pulling and pushing the door and it will not budge. My friend built my pc for me this May so I have not yet opened the case myself. If anyone could help me that would be great.
 
Solution
slide a small screw driver or a butter knife under the back edge of the panel especially at bottom corner of case. use the screw driver or knife like a lever to carefully pry the side panel up. pull rest of the way with your hand. done that lots of times with my handy dandy multi-purpose slot screw driver.


It will not slide as it is supposed to when I pull it. I am not pulling it too hard because I don't want to break it, but I definitely put enough force for it to open. I am pulling, it is not sliding. It is loose close to the little handle on the side panel but stiff as it gets close to the front of the case.
 

Yeah I couldn't find a video either. Yes, the back screws came out very easily. They are thumbscrews BTW.

Thank you to everyone for the responses. After a while I got angry and used a lot of force on the door and it opened... I guess it was stiff and just needed a little extra force. Anyways, many thanks!
