Hi. The front blue panel comes off very easily, there are two tabs on the right side of the machine. Press these in and the front panel will pop off.
You will then see the drives. Disconnect the IDE and power cable from the back of the machine and undo the two small screws on the front of the drive. If I remember correctly, the drive should pull out and you can put you new one in. I recently had 50 of these to repair/rebuild so I got to know them very well.

I would love to trade out the CDRW drive for a DVDRW drive I have handy, but I have not been able to track down specific instructions on how to remove the current cd drive or install a new DVD drive in its place. Poking around in my machine, the only way I can see of pulling out the old drive is prying it out. I've already added memory, and added a new Acard IDE card and 60 GB drive, so I'm comfortable with repairs and alterations.
