That computer came in two styles....a flat desktop case and a tower.
On the desktop, the top of the case comes off.
On the tower, the left side panel comes off and the rest of the case stays put.
There should be screws or maybe just a quick release to free the left side panel, if you have the "tower" model.
Can you find a picture of your unit?
