Default Disassembling NZXT Apollo
Hey guys,
After reading some threads I've decided I need to do a little more cable management. Problem is, when I've tried to take off the motherboard side of the case it won't budge. I've removed the screws just like you normally would and it's not riveted on. I've even removed the front panel. I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet if it comes off or not. Any owners of the NZXT Apollo have any good news to share with me? Anyone who has done it before, or is it just not done?

Thanks

-Bonz™

Could you possibly take a picture? It would make it 100% easier to understand exactly what you're talking about.

EDIT: Are you talking about your side panel?

The opposite side panel. The side with the motherboard on it.

So the back panel?

How does the other panel come off? Does it just slide off, or does it pop off. I know with cases I've worked with, they all have different ways of going on.

I had to pry mine with a screwdriver, theres a little handlelike thing in the middle and it provides enough space to wedge a screwdriver in.

The windowed side panel just slides off. The other looks like it does the same. Just 2 screws on the back <-- left side of the case. But no matter what I cannot get that side off. I suppose I could take some pictures, but that would require me unhooking it . I guess I'll take some in a few. Anybody else who has this case and know what I'm talking about?

I saw that. But it actually comes off with enough force?
