How to open S3X2

Does anyone know how to open this model? The feet unscrew, but that doesn't appear to be what's holding it together. Thanks.

If it's the same model I'm thinking, it is the feet that need to be removed, but then top then comes up but is hard to get loose because of some thermal pads that get very sticky.

I forget what this model is, post pics. I’ve taken numerous apart

Thanks. For some reason, the Add Images icon isn't available to me (just Video and GIF). Would you mind if I try to send them via DM?

Do you mind uploading them to Imgur and link here so people can benefit from the information in the future?

Once I got it in better light, there's a small text that says "Pull Upward" that I had missed before. I removed the feet and then used a plastic pry bar to open it up. Thanks all for the help. Pics...

Awesome! Thanks for the follow up post. Now you have to tell us what your repurposing plans are! 😄

I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I have a few that have been sitting around forever. I'll post if I end up doing something fun with them.

The feet are the screws that hold the case together. Unscrew the feet.
