Finally, a somewhat decent day today. Too bad I spent some time at the dentist office:( .
De(con)struction of the case has been more or less completed! Here's some pics from the last hour or so:
Removing rivets with my Dremel
6 rivets later:
And the poor Dremel has had it--forgot to charge the battery! No problems though, I've got backup resources:

Anyway, back to work. Here we have the mobo tray almost out:

And finally, something's gotta be done about these feet. There gonna be gone soon, as I don't think I could save em...plus they're flimsy.
We'll see what the weather is like this weekend...might be able to at least prime the skeleton.
