    Thanks for the project pics. I have to say it looks scary!Isnt there a lot of weight on the CPU card? Does the connector strain?


    Go look for "Slot A" or "Slot 1" retention clips or brackets, like these:

    There are holes on the motherboard for it. In theory they'll just let the card waggle between them and not "hold" anything, but you can always wedge a couple of bits of eraser or real rubber spacer between the clip sides and the card
