take a small/thin drill bit and drill iin the center of those lil bolts.drill from the front of the bolt. super easy i did it in my pc case they should just pop off. but remember there will be nothing there to hold anything into place after u take it out.

AS Rasta states, just drill the rivets out. once you've drilled through they should pop off, else ust give em a squeeze with some pliers.
 
I've just tried drilling through with a black and decker drill with god knows what size bit but i'm having no joy. Dammit.

drill from the side with the round face and small hole (like the one in the center of the first picture) and use a drill bit that will, with a little pressure and guidance, stay in the hole. It may be the case the you need to start with a very very small drill bit, and then make it a bit larger after each pass. Alternatively, because you are not going to be keeping the harddrive cage, you could just rip[ the fucker off in any means possible :)

i had the same problem with mine, but the cage i couldn't remove was the CDR cage. i ended up leaving it in the damn box and using it as the ledge where my light sat on.

make sure the cage doesn't support too much weight on the case. some cheap ass computer cases rely on this cage for support. and when you remove it, the case gets all wobbly n shit.....
 
Haha i took your 2nd piece of advice and went crazy with the hammer, accidently snapped a few things i wasn't quite aiming for but the case is looking nice and empty now. Thanks tip top ;)
