Look for a latch that will slide or that can be depressed most likely on the back or front. It may be hidden at front-bottom or behind a door. Some of these are really ingenious. also look for holes that a tool can be inserted into. An HP case had a hole in the top near the front to release the front.
As I have already said, I stongly suspect that the front (bezel) has to be removed and that it snaps into place. Look at the bottom of the bezel between the bezel and the case for any kind of lever you can squeeze, push or pull. If there is no lever then a firm outward tug on the bottom of the bezel may release it. Once it is removed you should see how to get the sides off.

Cases are like puzzles... look for screws on the bottom. Also try sliding the top back and /or up. If that fails try pulling the front off. Don't break it!! try lifting up and out from the bottom. If all else fails can opener LOL!!
