[rescue] Compaq Thumb Screws

[Brian Dunbar]

After dropping back and _thinking_ we'll go the hardware store route.  The
team lead here doubted mgt. would want to pay Compaq or an external vendor
for more hardware (after spending thousands and thousands for new equipment,
they'll quibble over a few bucks for hardware?) so we'll expense it.  The
ways of management are truly strange and inscrutable.  

At least the local hardware store makes a few bucks on the deal.

Get out the trusty drill and just drill out the front of the servers a
bit..
Also any hardware store with a decent selection will have some screws
that will work (not thumb screws)
