Hello All

After looking over the manual 6 times, don't see anything in instructions that says how to remove the front panel to gain access to the 3 Front fans for Dust cleaning, or later on adding a replacement 3.5 inch hard drive if ever needed for more storage, ((reviews say you have to carefully slide a screwdriver in between blades of the 3rd fan, to screw the hard drive into the tray on the bay with this case)) So just trying to figure out how to properly get Front panel loose for future cleaning/hard drive replacement if needed before it's time to really do it.

The V200 has 4 squeeze type plastic connectors on each side of the panel. Starting at the bottom squeeze a connector and pull from the front of the case panel. Do this both sides and then move up to the next one. maintain a pull pressure on the panel.

There's not a lot of space, but you should be able to get two fingers each side.

I've seen several people just give them a really hard jerk, but you risk breaking the connectors.

Also, when you get to the top ones, be careful of the wiring. At that point the panel should be mostly off so just pull it away gently for the last part.

Good Luck. hth.
