is there any way to remove the lower hardrive cage in the famous, chieftec case besides dremelling out the rivets. I dont have easy access to a drill, and i dont trust my drill skills. Is there any way to snap off the rivets?
 
I just ground them off with my dremel, it really isn't hard at all.

Other than that, you could file off the heads with a file. Might take a while though.
 
The best, fastest, easiest way is with a chizel or screwdriver.

Find a sharp chizel or flat head screwdriver, and place it at a 45 deg. angle to the case. Hit the chizel or screwdriver firmly and watch the head of the rivit snap off. Then you can push the rest of the rivit out the hole, and see ya later drive tray.
