    Removing Rivets: Super Lanboy modification - Drive Cage

    I just got my Super Lanboy and would like to remove the drive cage (to install water cooling and other stuff). I observed that it was secured with two screws, four rivets on the bottom, and 4 rivets on the front. What is the best way to remove rivets so I can remove the drive cage? The only method I've read about is drilling the rivets, which I guess creates holes in the case. Any other methods?

    If I understand the situation correctly, the Rivets go through holes that are already in the case. Drilling out the rivets means using a drill the same size as the hole that is already there so that the only thing that gets drilled is the rivet.

    Thats a correct assumption. Isn't a Lanboy kinda small for Water Cooling? If you are determined to remove it then you can find some kind of filler to refill the holes.
