Some issues I have with that case; However perfect it looks on paper, the biggest drawback i have found, is the fact that:
ALL CONNECTIONS ARE WELDED INSTEAD OF RIVETED. With welded I'm talking about small holes of 1/8" in diameter that seem to be soldered to the connecting plate.

Future buyers beware, if you would like to do small modifications on the inside (extra holes for tubing, cables, ...): it can be quite daunting. In one direction one can dremel some distance, in the other you'd need a small metal saw, because there is no room to hold the dremel. For an 'easier' paintjob rivets are a blessing too.

???
By the way: would there be an easy way to, unsolder/unweld those connections. I could hold my soldering iron on the weldspot, but that doesn't make me get rid of the solder fluid. (i tried, but i need a new tip on my soldering iron).

p.s. with all the fuss about the spelling :p , I tried to pay particular attention to my 'style'.

The easiest way i have ever found is using a spotweld drillbit :P

Makes a clean job of it :)

Hmm, good info... one questions; most of those weld spots are connecting perpendicular steel plates. Can you get close enough to the other panel to get over the weld spot, or do you need some sort of 90° arbor for your drill.

You can get some Mapp Gas, and a suction device, like what the nurse cleans out ur ears with. Works for all the desoldering I have had to do.
