This looks great. Can you provide more detail on Step 3 (opening the case?) Are there locking tabs that I need to worry about breaking? And if so, how many? Does the cover simply snap back into place?

I need to open my unit simply to disconnect the power to clear the BIOS. I stupidly disabled my USB ports and there is no way to navigate the BIOS without the (USB) keyboard (how freaking dumb is that!)

Very nicely done. Do you suppose that the SSD can be upgraded to something larger?
