Sometimes hacking a computer means a whole different thing...
In this use, I'm actually hacking (with a hacksaw) the case apart to add an I/O shield (custom made) so I can fit an older motherboard that was not designed for this case.
And thank you to Gateway for making me do this by not using a removable shield and instead stamping every hole they needed and covering them with a sticker if they weren't on this model. 🤦‍♂️

four 3d printer I/O shields each with slightly better layout and options. the top is the earliest and has holes that are too small (the DB9 and DB25 are comically small). the next has the right sized DB9 and DB25 cutouts, but there is still a problem with the clearance on the PS/2 ports. the third one would have worked, but I wanted to shift the PS/2 ports half a millimeter and add labels for the three DB ports.
the back of a gateway 2000 G3 case with a large rectangle jacked out where the IO shield should go.
the back of a Gateway 2000 G3 case with the completed I/O shield and motherboard installed. everything lines up and fits.
my assorted implements of destruction used to create the hole for the I/O shield. sitting on top of an old table cloth covered in small pieces of metal are: a round file, a triangle file, a pair of snips, a hacksaw, and a pair of needle nose pliers.

Marine protected areas expanded in 2025, but still far from 30% goal
In December 2022, nearly 200 nations committed to protecting 30% of Earth’s lands and waters by 2030. As of 2025, about 9.6% of the world’s oceans are now covered by marine protected areas, according to the latest global tracking data by the World Database on Protected Areas. This marks a 1.2% increase in 2025, up […]
