I have this case...its pretty sweet. Anyways...
To get the front panel off, take a pair of pliers (needlenose) and pinch the plugs together so they can slide out of the holes. do each set sepreratly. Start with the bottom, then center, then top. It may take a good amount of pulling, and dont be afraid to get physical, the case is pretty sturdy.
The screws dont need to come out...they are just holding in the latch for the door, it will come off with the fron panel.
You're gonna need to take the other side panel (right panel) off to get the front off. The right comes of just like the left, except for a couple of the motherboard mounting screws.
