Nice job! I remember being in a similar situation with a "homebrew" amd64
server that i inherited. These had metal screws. Servicing the fans helped for
a while but i eventually had to replace them. I've broken newer and
smaller hardware that has more plastic parts, so i understand the feeling of
relief when it still works after reassembly.
