Hi all.
I know this sounds like a silly question, but I just don't
want to break anything.

Is there a proper method to open a 411 external HDD case?
There aren't any screws, and like I said, I don't want to
break any plastic bits.

I didn't have much luck at the Sun website, it kept coming
up with hard disks or system service manuals.

Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Vu.

You have to poke something into two holes (one on either side)
near the back. WHen you poke the right two holes, the top of
the case lifts up from the back.

Here's a small diagram of what you're looking for:

Top

Back | o x o x marks the spot

The second hole in the second row from the back of the case hides the latch.
