I wish you could. It would sure make reaching those front fans a little easier...

nzxt source 210 white case

 

yes you can. to remove them by drilling the retaining rivets out and later if needing them back can re-rivet them back in place. four from the bottom and four in the ODD bays

Well, technically... you could remove just about anything from any case, given the proper tools.

 

But the bays in this case aren't exactly "removable".

You can, but it will require some modding and you might not be able to get them back in after.

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.

I would rather just leave rivets out if you are already going through the trouble to remove them and use some more removable like screws (or a nut and bolt) since if you want to remove it again, you'll have to repeat the process.

Or just get some really heavy duty mounting tape (but it could strip paint potentially when try to remove)

I did when I had a Cooler Master Elite 430, it had the same amount of rivets in the same spots.  It was relatively easy too

Grab a drill, take your time and have fun. I'll be taking a drill to the inside of my Corsair 330R soon :D

Never say it's not broken. Everything is broken. Why? Because everything needs MOAR POWA!
