Hot glue on the small inductor did seem to make an appreciable difference 😀
Now I've got it all together, and it is working beautifully! It took a few rounds of changes to BIOS Power Management settings to get the Power button working as expected (one combination of sensible-sounding settings resulted in the power button turning off the CPU fan, but leaving the system running!)
It's currently booting from a CF card adapter wrapped in Kapton tape and just tucked in place, but I'm tempted to try removing the modem daughter board and fitting the card adapter onto an improvised bracket there. Perhaps cutting out an opening in the rear of the case to give it an easy way to swap disks/ load files?
