That's what I needed to know, thanks.  That's where I went first, but was
afraid I was going to snap something off!  You're right, this is a tough
one to yank.

I got the motherboard to slide out in a few seconds; that was easy and
obvious.  

Yes, I have to remove the drive, mount it elsewhere, copy files from it,
secure wipe it, and then surplus the box through the State of Illinois
depot in Springfield.

Yeah.  Nice box, imho, too bad it's going to the scrapyard.

That's not it, domain not found, I'll keep trying permutations of this,
maybe it will pop up.

And yes, this helped, a lot, thanks again.
