Scraggles Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 My boss just gave me an old PC that I'm going to put together as a file server. I've decided I'm going to repaint it since it looks like... well... a dell... Question is does anyone have ideas on how to remove the cover on the tower so I can still reattatch it somehow? I'll be drilling out the rivets, but then I'll be left with just plain ol holes. Ideas on how to reattach it after its painted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goretsky Supervisor Posted May 16, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hello, If you are using machine screws for reassembly, perhaps you could attach nuts on the reverse side with with some epoxy putty (ala J?B Weld)?

+Biscuits Brown MVC Posted May 16, 2014 MVC Share Posted May 16, 2014 You could just re-rivet it back together. That's what I do every time I disassemble a case for painting. xrobwx71 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scraggles Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Plastic pop rivets if you don't have the re-rivet equipment. I guess I overthought the process. I just bought a rivet gun and the necessary rivets for 20$. Having never used them before, I thought it was something that costs significantly more money. xrobwx71 and goretsky 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
