There are little plastic squares that have tabs on them, you have to take them off to get to the screw. Needlenose pliars might work. I think there might be one under a sticker too.

There are squares and the rubber feet, take those out and the screws should be under there. If your trying to use the large PS2 you also have to get the ones on the over hang on the front.

Also seriously the PS2 slim would be best.

how different is the ps2 slim's motherboard? i was studying the inside of a regular ps2 and it seemed to me all you needed to do to "slim" it was take out the power supply and get rid of the useless empty "expansion bay".

The PS2 slim is the smallest, next to v3. It also has a laptop style DVD-rom that is much smaller then the 5 1/4" DVD-rom in the larger PS2s. To top it off the slim also onlyy needs 8v and 5v, the larger needs 12v, 5v and maybe 3v. So really it just simplifies things completely.
