Hello,

Yes, it seems as these are AT Style (not ATX) Pentium II motherboards, the
support is inadequate.  Pentium (not II) AT boards use a different layout,
and the support is in the right place to reduce this kind of stress.  I
believe the manufacturer (Pcchips) should have (caught this situation and)
listed a warning, or better yet, supplied a complete mounting solution.

I have received a lot of useful info here and thank all.  I will pass the
knowledge gained along and hope you all do the same.

Mikka has found a kit which is cheap and hopefully will satisfy the need for
adequate support.  I have emailed Mikka for the company info and will follow
up with a post when we get the product and test it.

As we are getting busy,  and this thread has served its purpose, i'm going
to bid you all thanks one last time and leave before the trolling gets any
worse.

Many Thanks,
