Velocity Micro GX Silver Case Manual Search

[Hrothgar Óhreinsaður]

My roommate has a Velocity Micro Gamer's Edge 1500, which he purchased at the end of 2006, and I'm having no luck finding a manual for the case: GX Silver Velocity Micro Classic Case (not a GX-2). I have found images for the case, but no exploded images, nor any assembly/disassembly information. I'm trying to remove the front plate from the case so I can clean the front vent, which is full of dust. Any assistance is appreciated. No need to remark on the age of the PC: we don't have hundreds of dollars at our disposal to upgrade PCs frequently.

Well. So as no one else has stepped up to the plate I'll give it a shot....

The problem here is that you're looking for a user manual or an exploded view diagram from a PC case manufacturer - I guarantee you'll find neither. This is just not in their best interest as it doesn't make money for them and their margins are low.

But after a few image searches it looks like the front panel may come off with a simple Phillips screwdriver. If that is the case then attack the case from the front - remove the front cover, dust off the intakes and then replace the front cover. Be careful to not disrupt the casings for the optical drives as they can be fragile. Otherwise you should be fine. Good luck!

Thanks. I had initially taken the small screws off the sides of the front plate and tried there, but it wasn't giving, and, since it isn't mine, I didn't try to force it. I tried again, and it came off. She's clean now, and my roommate can see the blue LED fan light again.

I have solved the problem. This thread can be closed.
