I find it kinda funny but out of all seriousness, they wont open the main side, the one that you put windows on will open but the other side and top wont pop off, i tried pulling it out sliding it taking off all the necessary screws but it still won't come off and the reason why im taking it off is because im trying to install a new hard drive so i can make it the main drive so i can completely remove and reformat the other one.The new hard drive is a maxtor 300 gb hard drive and i got it at fry's for $50 and if it doesn't work my dad will buy it off of me for his mac.

does it slide off? or have a latch? are there any screws on the top or bottem holding it on? you can try to pry it off with a flat head screw driver

Are you sure its not secured with rivits? the top should..
a good way to get the sides open i think is lay it on the side, it seems easier.

also see if the front bezal can pop off to revial more screws. had quite a few comps like that come into the shop were i work.

in all seriousness have you tried a LOT of brute force?
maybe theres just a small tab or something that got bent
