Introduction
Removing the left panel of a desktop computer is an important skill to have for repair and troubleshooting purposes. The left panel must be removed before any repairs can be performed on the inside of the computer. In addition, computers with heating problems could benefit from having the left panel removed.

What is the name of the case used in this tutorial?
I would also like to know, I saved one of these from a junk pile but not sure what it is? Was able to fit a full ATX board with gtx570 and a little breathing room so not too shabby for how small it is.
This depends on the model of system. Some systems have a lever/latch to pull to release the cover. Many Dell and HP models use latches to open the covers (no tools required to open the system). Some systems need a screwdriver to remove the screws. Some are Phillips screws, others may be Torx.
