First step was to see how the motherboard went in. Not very well as you can
see. About 3 or 4mm each side too wide. Bugger. Should have bought a tape measure
:P
So I had to remove the foamy lining of the box. It was only lightly
glued on and came off nicely with a Stanley knife.
But it still wouldn't fit. This called for drastic measure. The
PCB of the motherboard had a few mm at either side where there were no copper
tracks - just empty silicon. So I got to work shaving them off, ably aided by
Stanley.
I eventually got it to fit very snugly by getting rid of these
few millimetres, sanding away some of the wooden side of the box and bending
the motherboard a little. It still wouldn't go in quite flat but it was good
enough. I forgot to take any photos of this stage. The motherboard is now actually
wedged in a few mm from the botted of the box.
