Just how are the screws in "weird places"? Two on the top of the cage, then the mounting bracket (with the drive installed pulled out) is removed, and you remove the four screws holding the drive onto the mounting backet, and pull off the drive. Simple?

It's pretty much because everything is connected to everything else, and it's a pain if you have to open it up several times.

Also,

It turned on before but the hard drive was dead, swapped the hard drive, tried turning it on but it doesn't do anything. I hear the CRT have a slightly high pitch noise, so it's getting power, but nothing else happens when I push the power button.

Any ideas?
