+Side of the case half done, with it partially cleaned its easy to see just how dirty it really was:

+Rear of the case has some nasty glue residue from what looks to have been packing tape or possibly even duct tape. Not sure why anyone would have tape stuck to the back of the case??? Also cleaned up the really interesting original supplier case sticker.... they are //long, long// gone now.
