I was wondering if anyone could give me some easy instructions as to how to open the back of my HP desktop tower so that I can install a netgear wireless card? I was given instructions as to installing it, but not about how to actually open the tower! Any help? Thank you :)

Hmm. Not necessarily a recommended operation if you don't know how to get it open, I would have recommended a USB external adapter myself. Same price + extra antenna/maneuverability.

There should be screws in the back, large ones on the very sides. You need to remove the ones opposite the side where everything plugs in. If you're lucky, the side will just slide off. If you're not, the whole covering of the tower has to come off. If you're REALLY unlucky, there are latches that need to be undone up front for it to slide back.

Take some digital pics of your case and post 'em at imageshack.us and link to them, we should be able to help you better then.
