6: Final screws

Now that all caps where soldered down, I could put the whole thing back together. First where the CPU and WIFI boards.

Since I already broke the sigil of not using hot glue I decided to put some on the standoff that allegedly used to be foam at some point in time. That way the CPU board doesn't hang off it's connector alone.

Then I connected the Wifi Antennas and put the motherboard back into the case for testing.

A photo looking straight down between the CPU pcb and the motherboard. There's a thing layer of hot glue on a piece of black foam that's sandwiched between.

Top-Down photo of the motherboard with the two additional cards installed back and the wifi antennas connected. It mostly looks as before, except the hot glue on two components and the different color on some of the caps. The caps are also a bit more wonky than they where from the factory.
