Question about FD Core 3000

Are the hard drive cages in the front of the Core 3000 BOTH removable?

 

I want to install an SSD and HDD inside the 5.25" bay up top, and get rid of the hard drive cages to make room for more airflow. Would I just need to unscrew the the top and bottom, or is the bottom one permanently attached?

Only upper cage is removable:

There's no information on how the lower drive cage is attached to the case, darn. I can't find any pictures on the net of that angle of the case either.

 

Hopefully I don't have to sheer or grind anything away to get it out :/

Lower case is held in using rivets. You can remove them, but haven't tried it myself (built four computers with that case, great for the price). 

 

EDIT: yes, you need to use something like a drill to remove them. I don't know much about that though.
