I have an Ultramax 1Gig drive which is going fine, but ridiculously
loudly. Warranty has now expired so I'm looking at putting in an
alternative fan - having unscrewed everything and looked inside this
might prove harder than I'd hoped.

The problem is this:
<http://eruvia.org/imagedump/ultramax-screwcovers-20091212-103505.png>

Those pop-out covers are pretty inaccessible. Because the screws are
directly behind them, I can' pop them out from the inside. I can't see
a way of getting to them from the outside either.

Any ideas how to get rid of those covers?



Cheers,
Ian

Drill them out? Use a centre punch to make a little depression in the
centre of each screw cover first to stop the drill wondering around,
then drill through until you have removed each screw head.
