Anyone familiar with this case? How do you remove the top portion of this case? It has no screws, just odd circle rivet looking things. Thanx for your guys' help once again
 
well if its riveted on, you'd have to drill out the rivets. make sure you pull all your gear out and then wash the case in mild soap and water to make sure that ALL METAL FILINGS ARE GONE.

ya, been reading up on how those metal shavings are hell on anything electronic
How would I go about dirlling out the rivets?

I own this case as well....

Get a drill and a drill bit that is just bigger than the hole that is in the center of the rivet. Start drilling out the center of the rivet until you go all the way through. Don't use too big of a bit or you will start drilling the case itself...it wont hurt it, but you';; want to keep the hole as small as possible. One you drill through, you should be able to use a center punch and push the rivet through..Presto! now the cover comes off. You'll want to start thinking about how to keep the cover secured after the rivets are gone. A good idea might be to use standard case screws, assuming that the hole in the case is smaller in diameter than the screw, which is self tapping. Or tap the hole in the case and use some fancy thumbscrews...
