After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

The last steps consist of re-assembly and installation of parts and such. The case was originally
assembled using 1/8" pop rivets and with rivet gun in hand the re-assembly goes pretty quick. The motherboard tray
did prove to be a little difficult to reattach since the case builders countersunk the rivets on the back of the
case. (This was to allow side panel to slide over them when closed.) Since these types of rivets are difficult if not impossible to find
a modification was in order. Using a pair of pliers I removed the nail from the pop rivet and filed the domed top
of the rivet flat then angled the lower sides into a cone shape. After a trial fit for proper countersinking
the nail was reinstalled and the modified rivet was snapped into place.
Just to be different the fanbus was installed on an expansion bay cover, it still works the same with the added benefit that I can blind the person across from me at a LAN party.
