Horizontally mounted motherboards
To anyone who has the rack mounted MTU computer, and for that matter, any other PC with a horizontally mounted motherboard:
Beware of any loose hardware that may fall on your motherboard and cause an intermittant or permanent failure. I experienced a potential disaster when hardware from my video connection fell onto my motherboard. Luckily, the system wasn't powered up. Upon further inspection of other hardware inside my computer, I found extra screws for board additions (PCI) that were on the verge of falling out. Take a minute and check yours out and recheck them yearly. Use a thread sealer, light epoxy, or tamperproof solution to insure hardware from falling out.
