This one didn’t exactly go well. Previously, I drilled some tiny holes in some thread holders to make some standoffs for the motherboard. Later, I cut them with a hack saw, then used a rotary tool to make them more square.
I then popped them into through the holes I drilled a while ago. Surprisingly, and with some effort, they all fit without any glue!
Here’s where I ran into trouble: I was only able to fasten two of the motherboard screws to the standoffs, although it stood solid. A second problem I had was that the PC became uneven. I had to put a piece of cardboard (as shown) to level the computer. So, I guess the next thing I need to do is clipping one or two standoffs, or push that one standoff (in the upper-right hand corner) all the way in.
Hmm, let me try it right now…Oh wait I see the problem. It’s competing with one of the NES bottom feet.
Well, that’s it for now. Another update if I decide to do more work on this.
