Question How do i remove rivets cleanly. Any advice?

[chris h the guy]

I have very small rivets on my computer case about a half centimeter in size with a quarter centimeter sized hole each. What would be the easiest and most efficient way to remove them without damaging the case too much? I'm not so familiar with removing rivets so...

A drill bit that's just a bit smaller than the rivet cap.

Am sure if u you look hard enough there must be a specialized tool for the job, costing more than the case, so for us home mortals DIY'er ^that drill.

so do i use a screwdriver with a hammer or something? i dont really think drilling is the way for me because it is too messy and i dont think i have one that fits the size
