Maybe I'm too deprived of sleep and afraid of ruining the brittle plastic but I can't figure out the retaining clips for the motherboard in my 300PL tower. Anyone with one of these systems have some tips?

I had a 300gl which was similar. IIRC you have to remove the metal on the side. Then, see that black thing under the board ? This is a lever made to remove the board. Pull it and then you should be able to slide the motherboard
