I need to open the case of a Dell Dimension E510, so that I can change the DVD-RW, but I can't seem to find a way to open the silly case. instead of screws on the side panel, I find rivets.Who can tell me how to open this case so that I can get done?

There should be two places to 'push', like inset buttons, where you push and pry apart the two halves of the computer. It will open like a clam shell. There might also be a release slider on the rear where it looks like you can put a padlock on it. If there is, slide it to OPEN before pushing the inset buttons.

(edited to add....)

Whoops, wrong model... Never mind! Jacky has the picture of that particular case.
