Two bright green T8 screws suggest an official Xbox welcome into the machine, and yet those screws are hidden under stickers and a trap door. Microsoft, do you want us to get in or not?

Regardless, it won't stop anyone armed with our Mako driver kit. Spin the driver, pop a few clips, and you're in. So it's user accessible, but not User Accessible.

We've got our crosshairs dialed in. Primary removal target? The beefy 130 mm fan. It's pretty get-at-able for cleaning—a big plus. If your X stands up tall, this is upward exhaust—so hopefully not many dust bunnies will nest there.

Speaking of big fans, Microsoft went out of their way to hide Master Chief in here. A welcome Easter egg!
