Hay....

I actually called Antec on that one... the guy on the phone sent me a diagram depicting how the top comes off.

There are 4 or 6 (im at work right now so this is off the top or my head) black plastic clips, like fingers that hold the case on. I also hadto unscrew the grounding screw, but once the clips are popped loose, the case top slides forward. When I get home I 'll hopefully still have the email and I can forward it to you if you like. I think he might have given me a step by step in the email itself along with the diagram. I had to place a flat head screw driver in the clip area to pull the tab back and kinda pop the top up alittle to loosen it. theres 2 in the rear (right above the rear fans) and 2 midway (right before the 200mm fan) and im not sure if there were two more. There might only be 4 clips. I did take the drive bay cage out though to make it easier to remove the top. And make sure you have enough slack in the wires for the top USB and other plugs. I didnt totally remove the top off, the wires were still all attached (usb/sata/headphones). I just propped it up so I could workby sliding it forward and spinning it 90 degrees to gain access to the rad mounts i drilled. Also, i did pop out the rear fan controller for the top fan becasue I think its necessary. I had mounted all the fans on a terminal block so it wasnt a big deal for me.
