Open IOmega external USB2 hard drive case?

Some of there cases have surface rubber feet, or inserted rubber feet. Remove the rubber feet to gain access to the screws under them. This is the case for most of these types of utility boxes.

There are three screws on bottom, near the front, but they release only the front of the case. I didn't find any other screws under the sticker or rubber feet.

Also does anybody know how large a hard drive the IOmega USB enclosure will handle?

Thanks, Jerry. I found two hidden screws under them and opened it up. The ventilation of this drive doesn't seem to be very good because the case has almost no openings, and the IDE drive inside has a metal cover over its PC board that blocks all air flow. :( I'm thinking of drilling holes in the cover.

If you drill holes, just be careful of staples and other office crap that might get onto the PCB and cause problems.

Good idea. Fortunately the adults here are very careful, and the electric shock dog training collar we put around our kid's neck has been very effective in preventing mischief, especially ever since it was rigged to be triggered automatically by any of the numerous motion sensors around the house.
