That must be the formula! Each of the features you describe is clearly present,
though I think it may take a while for me to grow the extra hand. I've been
trying for 20-odd years to grow an extra leg. One time, at a party, having had
a few drinks, I was asked by a woman in whom I might have had just a bit too
much interest, "What is your problem?" and I told her that it was that one of
my
legs was longer than the other two. She wasn't impressed, but it didn't help
... <sigh>

My Western Digital 20AP opens as follows:
1) Grow extra hand
2) Back of case, about 1.5" to right of AC socket, at the
bottom of the upper half of the ventilation grill is a
small plastic lug. Depress it with a flat blade
screwdriver of similar.
3) Simultaenously use two PC (spit !) card blanking plates
on each side of the case (There is a small 0.5" slot in
the bottom of the three styling ribs on the side of the
case) and press to bend the two side plastic lugs
4) You should now be able to lift the top of the case from
the back while the front edge rotates about the join
between the upper and lower halves. After lifting a little
way there will be sufficient play to slide the top of
the case forward in order to overcome the bits of plastic
in the top of the case which interlock with the bottom
of the case.
