ah thanks for verifying this, I will solder a battery holder and fix this... I am unsure if I need to repair the affected tracks, do you think I should scratch them a little and put some solder on them making a patch ?

Interesting, I never thought it would consume any ram at all, from what I understood it just patched the bios to enable correct hdd support, I always thought it used the ram assigned to BIOS that is not usable at the end user ....

[...] Also, I think it's called mid tower, not midi tower. :) nope... "mid" is new-age stuff (how do you call a mini one? min tower? LOL), midi is the proper term. At least here every store that respects itself and was not founded 1 year ago has the proper term: http://www.plaisio.gr/Computers/ …
