 The only way I found, was to pick up the machine with the front facing up and 
shake it till the mainboard falls out. I have a C110 and a partial C100 
(missing PS and memory, anybody interested in Europe?). I suspect there is a 
somewhat more acceptable way to take this machine apart, but someone with a 
B132L I talked to, also did it this way....

 One thing to watch for: on both my machines the connector between the drive 
sled and the backplane was flaky. And since the power button is on the drive 
sled, you can have severe problems powering the machine up if you have just 
taken it apart and the drive sled isn't properly seated. The person I got these 
machines from couldn't get them to power on at all....

 I'm also looking for memory and drives for this machine; the memory I found 
was 89 UKP per 128MB nad it uses HVD drives (also has a SE scsi chain, but 
that's only 5MB/s).
