Case top "rivets"

I'm going to replace the top of my PC 75b with a 3x120mm hole precut unit. The top I have is attached with rivets. Is there a tool that's used to remove\apply these rivets, and if so what is it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
If they are standard pop rivets, a 1/8" drill bit will remove them. Be careful not to remove any case metal in the process.

My rivet removal in the past:
Titanium drill bit, though standard steel bits should work at least a few times. Titanium chews through steel like it was wood. Really nice.

Once drilled out, future attachment is courtesy of standard 6/32 machine screws with accompanying nuts. The panel is secure, and now (fairly) easily removable.
 
Jeff7, the man is working on a Lian Li case with all aluninum rivets. A whisper of an 1/8"
drill is all it takes 😀 He's set up. I PMed him the whole deal.

Pop rivets are pretty easy to do yourself and cost around $10 for the gun and some rivets.

Drill out the old ones.

Well I've not worked with aluminum cases. Steel works for me. 🙂

Even so, I just love titanium drill bits. Bought a nice cheap set from Harbor Freight. They're all covered with oil (maybe part of the reason they're cheap?) but they work fine on anything.
