People discovered that zip-ties worked pretty well. You use the two zip-ties as one fastener, snug them all down evenly like they were head bolts, and then snip off the tail of the one acting as the nut. This may not be your style but if you're a utilitarian like me and just want stuff to work it'll work just fine.

    Here's the thread: http://www.overclock.net/t/1203636/o...ka-the-red-mod
    That's a great idea. Thanks.

    It's nice to see this works from someone I know whose done it.

    I appreciate the offer F$. If I didn't have the parts ordered already, I would have taken you up on it.

    I went through all of my parts boxes of what little I have left and it was a no go. I'm still kicking myself for getting rid of a ton of old parts 4 years ago. Can you believe I even threw a perfectly good computer in the trash?


    The good news is that the connectors and fans arrived yesterday; so the project of the day is to get the 460 put back together and get the 2nd Z600 running. Then I'll get the 2nd 460 cleaned up and the fan replaced for the 1st Z600.
