Default YY 0221 has arrived

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 , I tried to pay particular attention to my 'style'.
