As I indicated, I have not installed, used, or even seen the tower myself.  I
suspect you would have trouble putting the lid back on the video can, although
you might be able to re-install the RF shield.

This is one of the reasons Commodore cannot condone or recommend such system
modifications.  I would imagine most people just forgo the shield anyhow.
