ok, i'm pulling the video card (dare i call it a card, it's HUGE, more real
estate than the motherboard!!) out of this 4d/35.  i've got some questions.

pulled the plate off that exposes the motherboard.  ended up not needing to do
that to get to the vid, but that's ok, (dan, do you need the audio as well?)
have to take the two screws out that are above that plate, and the whole little
cage that the motherboard is in pulls out.  on the back is another plate.
unscrew two screws and your in. (one may be hidden behind the foam shit, so be
sure you remove TWO screws)

this is the biggest gosh darn video card i've ever seen.  the PMAGC-B in my
DEC 3000/700 was big and impressive.  boy was i wrong. :)

anyway, am i correct in assuming that all i need to do is unscrew all the
screws holding this thing and and pull it out?  all i can think is that this
box is going to create a WHOLE lot less heat with this removed.  is there
anything i should be keeping in mind while i do this??

thanks!!

ps: dan, keep this so you know how to put it back in!! :)
