How to remove case front panel (raidmax vortex v5)

[superman2233]

Hi, i bought a raidmax vortex v5 case and i need to install a front cooler, the proble is, i dont know how to remove the front panel, there are no screws, and i cant install the cooler front the inside.
But it says, it has 2 slots for coolers in the front

Looking at a pictures, I would guess you need to:

a) remove both side panels, then
b) press in the CLIPS to the front panel
etc.

I just spoke with an owner of that case and he says you pull from the bottom in order to open the front fan cover.

PLEASE confirm so I won't be misleading others should this issue come up again.

The is the V3 version, but it may be the same solution:

So probably a single clip on the bottom you can access from the front, though it may be easier with the side panel off. Not sure.

You'd still need to take off the left panel to attach the fan wire to PSU or motherboard though. If the fan is 3-pin, non-variable it probably doesn't matter which you use.

Okay, i tried it today and the front panel removes in 2 pieces, the bottom part covering the fans and the top part where the drive bays and buttons are. Its done by pulling foward from the side and bottom of the lower-front panel, and there are 3 clips on each side.
