That's true. To fit the Radius accelerator + SE motherboard in the case, you can't slide it in like usual, but rather wedge in one side using a butter knife then bend back the chassis on the other side - five minutes OF lots of prying back and forth - until it finally clamps in. Then, the TPD card is screwed in using what appears to be a home-machined (but isn't) bracket complete with large "Radius" dustcover just so you don't short it out on a neighbouring yoke, chassis or hard disk assembly. Solid once its all up and running, but definately not elegant!

Of course, I spent an hour installing all these parts, then realised it was still running 1MB RAM - so had to dismantle it again, butter knife at the ready, to put in the full 4MB complement of RAM.
