You guys are GOOD. Thank you!

Question 1 is now definitively answered.

To pry the case open, unscrew the one screw near the fan. Turn the case on its side, LED side down. Push what is now the top side of case back toward the fan. The case top will pop off.

I presume this will work in reverse when it's time to re-assemble.

Two screws hold the drive cage to the lower case. One screw is near what would be the inside of the top of the LED tower. Look for the second screw about 3 inches straight back from the power socket. Unscrew these and you can flip back the drive cage to get at the four screws that mount each drive.

I have not yet unmounted the drives, nor removed the data and power cables from the drives. I'm planning to do that after I see more answers as to what the replacement options are for new drives.

Anyone want pictures? Am I able to post/attach pix?
