Oh.
How the hell do you "forget" the standoffs?
Nevermind, I guess you just do.

Tsk,tsk. :shutup:

I've seen it done before.

With things like that I'd be asking myself "what are these for" long before I got to the point of switching things on.

Mind you, I've even seen someone manage to put a memory dimm in the way round, in spite of the key slot. :blink: Now that really DOES get things hot. :ohmy:
