One of the reviews says the side panel is a separate piece. Is it possible to attach it to either side, or else leave it off?

No the side panel attaches to only one side. You have to put it on because the chaise is mot finished material on that side.

You can only attach it to one side but if you wanted to leave it off you would still have to put it against the wall on that side because where the side is missing it will be bare.

No, It could be left off but it wouldn't look right and it can't be installed on the other side unfortunately.

Yes you can leave it off, but if I remember right u can put it on the others side. Companies sell right and left hand side versions. I used it in a stage play and it was perfectly strong

No you have to attach all the parts for it to be structurally sound. & it looks just like the picture.

There should have been a rigid plastic "L" shaped piece that mounts to the wall...and then your case mounts to that. If you didn't get this piece, I'd contact the manufacturer

It comes separate. If I remember correctly, it snaps in place so you may not be able to attach it on the bottom if turned that way. It has been a little while since we hung ours so I may not be remembering that right.

If it CAN be removed (which I doubt, as it seems pretty solidly a part of the unit), then the company would have to do it, I think. But why would you want to remove it? It juts out only an inch-and-a-half from the back and looks decent, too. It turned out to be useful for installing the PSU in the case, and afterwards it can be good for keeping track of those not-so-often-used-but-easily-lost USB cables, like for a camera.

You can tuck them in behind the powersupply in between it and the HDD rack or inside the HDD rack unused space if any. If you get a windowed side panel you are not going to want it to be the right one, or you will have wires showing. Left would be fine though, and you could hide most wiring fairly well. I don't think you gain much from going modular with this case as to plug almost anything in you need to pull the PS anyways. May as well just have everything hooked up.

Yes, the mounting bracket can be removed or not to install, but the back panel and the main metal frame are not removable.

The one I received is all sewn together as one piece. The bottom does not detach. The side panels can be manually opened as well as the top but not the bottom. :D WOOF!

Is it possible the side has panel has come loose? I think mine is doing the same thing.

The left side easily screws off. The right side (drive side) is permanently attached. Remember too that the drive side is LEFT handed threading.

I do not think there is a way to remove it without damaging the side table assembly; though I do not know for sure. It has never gotten in my way for me to consider checking if it can be removed.

Yes the item is finished on both sides. There may be stickers with the part numbers on them that you will probably want to remove however. It really is a lovely piece!

You can place it in one side--that shouldn't be a problem. Just verify the dimensions.

Yes you can add two fans on the left side panel, but I don't recommend doing so because adding two fans on the side will obstruct the airflow.

You can't. I returned two different ones. I found one that slips over the two side rails but is not attached. I found it at Walgreens.

I agree. The side rails come as part of the main frame. There is no way of taking one off.

Yes, you can leave the back panel off, but the back panel (when installed) makes the entire thing more sturdy. Bottom line, it can be done.

I've been there too but success puts the smile back on your face. The instructions say to "connect the front and rear panels (both have metal wire inserts) to one side ...". I would point out that both front and back pieces (with metal) have what I describe as foot tabs on one end only and that these approx. 1/4 inch extending tabs on both ends have to be on the bottom (the edge opposite the handle). Starting with them reversed so that the tabs end up on the top is NOT correct. You can force things together but those tabs and everything else will be misaligned. Also, make sure your placement of the front and back pieces does not obstruct the two slots that have locking plastic pins for the top and bottom pieces. Finally, make sure that the top and bottom pieces are both placed so the edge lip faces down. The bottom lip does not point up toward the other pieces as would seem intuitive. The picture is correct but easy to overlook this detail.
