Will look into it.

Yeah, MoBos can be a tad cramped at times The thing is that with appropriate wire you can achieve immense breaking point load values using extremely small cross sectional area! Fixig (tensing) such wires would be through normal, threaded type of bolt. Imagine regular threaded bolt of a size to your liking. Cut off two pieces of such a bolt (lenght dependant of your choice of nut) and drill a hole in the middle through the lenght of both pieces. Hole should be berely larger than your wire. I think you are catching my drift by now
