Has anyone taken the right side/top off an Antec Sonata II?

I was wondering if anyone has drilled out the rivets on the top/right side panel and succesfully replaced the panel.

I was wanting to put a blowhole in the top and ditcht the duct for a 120mm in the side and didn't want to remove everything. If I could take the top off i could drill the fan hole with out having to remove absolutly everything.

Suggestions?
 
Well, you'd have to drill the rivets out anyway, so you'll be taking all the parts out anyway. That is if you have any sense at all... It's no big deal - people people have been drilling out pop rivets in cases for years. Assuming the used the standard 1/8" pop rivets, an option for reassembly is to use 6-32 screws, nuts and lock washers in case you ever want to do it again - not to mention cheaper than buying a pop-rivet tool if you don't already have one. I like to use the panhead phillips screws when I do that.
