Hi, 

I'm trying to get rid of the 5 25" drive bays on my coolermaster silencio 650 black pure. Although I see some type of screw or holes, I dont really know how to take them apart. Does anyone know what those circle things that work like mounting screws are, and if you do, how do you remove them?

Thanks in advance.

They are rivets, and you can drill them out with a similarly sized drill bit.

Would a screwdriver and my hands do the trick? Like, applying pressure and drilling it manually? I just googled "rivets" and found out that they are made out of soft metal. Can I have any link on how to do it, or I can just count on myself. Is it as easy as it looks?

It would be worth a try, although you may ruin the screwdriver.
