It should be noted that these guides are written based on a late-model eMac (2005, 1.42GHz, DDR). They will differ slightly from the older model eMacs that use PC-133 RAM.
-
Lay the eMac screen-down on a flat surface. I've found it convenient to use a carpeted floor because the computer is so heavy.
-
Remove the single phillips #2 screw on the RAM door, and remove the door
-
The screw is captive in the door, so don't worry about losing it.

A single 2.5mm hex screw
-
Two #2 phillips screws

-
Remove two 2.5mm hex screws from each of the other sides of the computer.

Remove the screws, then use your fingers to pull on the top tabs to separate the panel from the computer frame.

-
Start by disconnecting the IDE and power cables from the drive.
