Stefan’s plans have holes marked on the mobo that I assume are mounted through the pre-existing holes in the ALICE frame. What I’m curious about is how the hell it’s sturdy without another screw in the middle post higher up on the mobo. ---

I just drilled another hole through the middle ALICE bar and straight through the [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) for the third mounting point, I believe that’s what most of us do. There’s a screenshot in the HD ref thread that shows the third attachment pretty clearly. ---

Good call, I see what you mean. Man, drilling through steel is going to be a pain in the ass… ---

I have an aluminum [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) from Irri (Multimediamayhem), and I drilled right through it with no problem. Aluminum is relatively “soft” and easy to work with, I’d highly recommend checking out MMM’s stuff. ---

As you can see from this picture, there should be two slots on the bottom of your alice pack: ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/f/1f6ea2c1c8e6998a3171a5952f2438e6092b1d7c.jpeg) From there, they mount to the reference holes in Stefan’s plans: ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/e/1eaba9edd3790414d1f5f88088908825691ce77a.jpeg) Cody ---
