Thanks For posting this

I recently took over a PC Repair shop that had fallen about two years behind on repairs. (Really, the previous technician died and the owners also worked other jobs)

Going through all the unorganized mess I found one of these Profile 3's and, though I found all the drivers, there is no tech data on the gateway or MPC site.

It's a cool little PC that I never even knew existed. Thanks for taking the time to post this,

I searched high and low for this, and finally just did it.
1) Lay the case on a towel or soft surface, monitor face down.
2)Remove the six screws securing the back case to the front.
3) There are six engagement points around the sides and top of the case. To release them you must slightly (~1/32")depress the side of the rear cover at each point (perhaps pry with small screw driver).
4) Clip locations are (viewed from the rear) about 9:30,11:00,11:30 12:30,1:00, and 2:30.
5) Gently remove the cover, the USB ports and power receptical have to be jockeyed around a bit.
