computer heating issue

[Spartan Erik]

well i have a sony vaio pcv-rz30c, and recently my computer has been running louder
the computer is at least a year old now, and i have never opened it up to clean the massive amounts of dust that is inside

my main question is only for vaio pcv-rz30c users..
HOW DO YOU GET THE CASE OPEN!?

as dumb as that might sound, im serious.
the case is nothing like ive ever worked with before; hp's, dell's, those are easy. this rz30c has a complicated case! i have no clue how to get it off.. i tried googling it and i only got RAM shopping results..

When My Pc Got Heated Up Ive Opened The Case Removed All Hardware (CPU,motherborad,CDROM) Filled My Bath TUB With Hot Water With Shampoo And Sank The Case It It After Ive Dried It With Air Blower And Fixed Every Thing Back And Also Added 3 New Fans

This is all I could find on it, I hope it helps a bit.

1 Turn off the computer.
2 Unplug the computer from the power source.
3 Ensure the computer is on a hard, flat surface.
4 Facing the back of the computer, pull the side panel release latches [FIG. 1] until the side panel is released.
5 Slide the side panel toward the back and away from the computer

I got that from Here
