How to unlock the case without key?

BlueMak · Jan 4, 2007, 02:00 PM

I have a thermaltake tsunami case (the one with the plastic see through cover), coloured black.
Excellent case blah blah blah.
The side window is locked, I can't find the key to open it, and I need to since I bought a new graphics card. Any suggestions how to open it without breaking the case?

Problem solved.

Let's just say the case will not seal off anymore.

Why exactly do cases have locks on? Surely its easy enough to pick up the case and walk away. Me I prefer the old fashioned screws on the back (oooh-err) then it's pretty obvious if some evil graphics card thief is trying to pinch your bits (arghhh done it again, who exactly invented innuendo?).
