Finishing up my first build, and I can't figure out how to remove the the External Bay Covers (at least that's what I think they are) to install my optical drive in this case. The manual says nothing, naturally, and I may be slowly going insane from the amount of problems I've had. Any help?

Yes, there are two small metal tabs with that plastic "tab" sticking up between them from the front panel: Press them inwards, and take the faceplate out whatever direction is easiest. I think it comes out to the front of the case, but I really don't remember. Don't mess with the tabs...
They have side tabs on the inside of the case/bay that have to be pressed in and the plate/screen pushed out to the front. The metal tabs a nearly invisible in the black case as they are thin and black. Get a good flashlight and look into the empty drive bay from inside the case.

Assuming that it is the one circled in white, do I push them inwards? I'm really unsure of how I'm supposed to do this.
