Hi all,
Here is a quick pic on the main headaches or removing the top shelf in a G5 case.
Here you can see the "c"-clip close up
Ok here is the back side of the side panel locking tab, you can see the pressure clip nicely seated in place.
There you just take that screw driver and nicely pop it out of place, safety glasses on I hope!
So now you can just slid that tab right out with no worries. Keep in mind what direction you they point, you can put them on backwards and then you'll be trying to figure out why your case panel doesn't latch lol
These are the two pieces out and about
Now once you remove these items you then just need to remove all the screws that hold it on the back side of the case.
Once those are done it will take a bit of maneuvering to then jockey the shelf out.
Be sure to have all items in and around the case unscrewed or if possible removed. So pull the DVD player out and unscrew the HDD rack as well and of course this shelf removal can only be done with the main hardware already removed.
And there you go,
