Time estimate: 3 - 9 hours Difficulty: Very difficult ??????
More like 30-90 seconds, and that's if you have to search for a screwdriver.
It should be noted that the bottom three clips on the bottom of the backplate can’t just be snapped in, they need to be slipped in, so when removing the backplate, it should be tiled away from the system and then pulled up from the bottom, and those three clips on the bottom should be the first clips in when you’re putting it back together, sliding them in with the backplate at an angle, and then the rest of the clips just snap in.
Nice tip. Ty.
Just did this. For reasmbly I recommend putting the bottom/lower part of the case on first before you screw it back on.
