How do you open the back of a pc?

I have an old packard bell (1998) and it was just fine until we moved & I think the movers played football with it. My pc guy where I used to live said to check inside but didnt remember how he opened it when he gave my an extra hard drive for just this kind of emergency.

It might help to post the model number, so one can know what case that you have and how to open it.
 
It's nice that you have an extra hard drive, but did your PC person install an OS on the drive? If the hard drive did go south, or just become disconnected, you realize that you won't be able to use the other drive to get your old data?
 
What happens when you try to start the PC?
 
Are you sure that you connected the system up properly?

Just a word of warning if you can't work out how to open it...... maybe you shouldn't.
