Im trying to open my iMac, but I cant find a way to do it. Does any one know where to find a manual or picture instructions on how to do it.

You can find some good and some bad instructions on the web for opening an iMac. The good ones are at http://www.nelsonbc.ca/mactech_supprt_html/ imac_hard_drive_replace/ imac_replace_hard_drive.html
I put it face down on a thick soft towel when I pulled the bottom off. It seemed like it was a little reluctant to pop off, but if you make sure the weight of the computer is not pressing on the bottom of the shell near the CD slot when you pull the bottom off it should pop off just by pulling it (of course after unscrewing the screws listed in the instructions at the link enclosed.)
The only thing I didn't see mentioned was this wire with a clear rubber flap on the end, but you could see it in the pictures, and I think it's the Airport antenna, so I just left it flopping around where I found it.
