Horror of Qompaq Desqpro

I was helping a friend get an old Compaq Deskpro pentium
200 running, and the goddamn thing has all the pci (I think
they're pci...?) cards on an expansion riser off the
motherboard, and the goddamn expansion riser is partially
sealed behind metal that's riveted together! lol/wtf?!

I can't even check the jumper (yes, jumper) settings on the
modem and sound card, never mind pull/replace cards. Has
anyone ever worked on one of these pieces of shit? Am I
missing some obvious way to get into the difficult area that
doesn't involve prying and breaking metal with a
screwdriver?
