Predator Orion 3000 630 - Is the PSU removable at all?

I got a great deal on an RX 6800. I'm wondering if the PSU's are built in because as far as I can tell, it doesn't look like I can take apart the case enough to access the PSU. Not easily anyway. The HDD mount, for instance, is installed with rivet screws. The PSU is just covered by a black cover, so I can't access the cables either.

Does anybody have any experience with this particular desktop when it comes to upgrading and stuff? I've never built or upgraded a PC before.

I hope this photo can provide some more insight.

    Sorry, I forgot to put the model:


    Predator PO3-630

    If that is the model, according to the information that appears in the service manual, it is removable, I leave screenshots:

    @Alejandro_AC Thanks for your comment. This does look very similar to my model. When I receive my new GPU, I'll see if I can get to the PSU.

    Kind regards
