Default Removing an old motherboard

Hey guys , i just got this sweet full tower case and im trying to pry out this motherboard but it just wont seem to come out. I am pretty sure it has to do with these things:


But they are on the other side. I took off the other side panel to verify and yes they are prodruding on the other side. Im wondering , should i use a dremel and just SAW it off?

Those are (hopefully aluminum) pop rivets. You have no choice but to drill those out my friend. Usually they either need a 1/8" or 1/4" bit to drill out.
