I got a great deal on a new motherboard (free!), but it doesn't have everyone's favorite four holes. Why anyone would manufacture a board sans holes is beyond me. I refuse to use a heatsink.

I'm in the market for plans/ideas for retention devices. What works well? What's easy to build with minimal tools? I imagine grabbing one lug per side is simpler, but would prefer to hook on all three.
