I have this micro atx case I was using before my currenty case, its a custom Ati radeon case. I have to take off the shell to repaint it because it got scratched at a lan party, how should I go about drilling out the rivits?

Put the drill on the rivet, start slow, and then as soon you feel it punch through the case just back the drill out nice and slow.

I have a pop-rivet gun!... i can make em' ...comes in handy.. but just drill em out... dont listen to IGGY just drill em' out fast it doesnt matter... just dont touch em after you drill them out there HOT

yeah just simply take a drill bit the same size as the rivet is wide, and just drill right through it! it will pop the head off, and you'll be good as gold!

just remember kids - ya screw around in shop class an someones gonna get hurt -


DONT PUT YOUR HAND NEXT TO WHERE YOU ARE DRILLING OUT RIVITS!!!!!!! DRILL BITS IN HANDS DONT MIX UNLESS YOUR A MASOCHIST

My Chieftec BX has the drive cages rivetted in, god knows why they can't just screw them in!

I just got a thin screwdriver - like the tiny ones for watches and stuff - and poked that in there, twisted it around until it popped out! The drill idea would be better though

yeah drilling out is easyer and faster...just dont burn yourself

Yep had to drill out the top of my antec.. why they rivet it on is beyond me..
