The Multimedia Machine


After removing the old 386 motherboard, I've discovered that the new motherboard will not fit into the case without some modifications to the case itself, and probably the power supply as well. Luckily I've got a rotary cutting tool, similar to the Dremel, but made by Sears.

Five minutes later I had the piece nicely cut out.

Next, after mounting the motherboard into the machine, I found that the daughterboard wouldn't fit into the case without modifying it more as well. I knew I'd have to modify the daughterboard as well, but that will come later, as I'm going to have to be very careful not to cut the wrong circuit board traces.
