Look into the top area from inside.

You see 4 screws?

Not the ones holding the 200mm fan but smaller ones with out a collar at the top, and one of them is connecting the grounding wire to the case, remove all 4 including the grounding wire, then slide the top towards the front of the case and it should just pop off.
