How to keep graphics card and sound cards from falling out.

1. Install

2. Forget.

It's possible that they COULD fall out, but with the 3 open pcs that I've had in my arcade machines... none of the cards have ever accidentally fallen out. I've accidentally PULLED a few out, but I make sure the PC is off if I'm fooling around in the cabinet. Under rough use over years... the cards have stayed put on their own.

When I show the inside of my cabinet to friends or anyone for that matter, they seem rather impressed to see the computer decased.  I've never had a card fall out, so I really don't think it's that big of a deal.  I again feel that it is all personal preference.  BTW, to the novice, a decased computer looks a lot like a pcb board inside an arcade game.  They don't know what the heck they're lookin' at.  It's like chroming under the hood of a car, only a few really get what it's about, but the rest think it sure is pretty. :)

Yeah, it looks lame to have a case in there. Takes away the mystery.

There are two advantages,

1. You don't get the reaction "Oh it's a PC" (making your accomplishment seem less impressive

2. They think you're a genius for knowing how to put together all "that complicated electronihickery"
