I used an extremely low-tech solution for the SunPCi in my AXi.  I took a
2x2 Duplo plastic block, stuck a square of double-stick foam tape on one
side and stuck the whole thing to the bottom of the case near where the
card ends.  Props the whole thing up neatly, and spreads the lifting force
out more than an edge rail would.

Does the U30 have enough room for the SunPCi to fit into the lowest PCI
slot or would it run into the case?
