I asked this question in the power supply thread but I haven't received and suggestions. Given the title of that thread I thought maybe people were passing over it due to their unfamiliarity with power supplies. So here I am staring a new thread with the question:

How does one remove the logic board from this system? I have removed the three screws securing the logic board to the case as well as the three read screws on the back of the system. In an act of "desperation" I also removed the six nuts from the connectors (though I don't believe this is necessary). When I attempt to lift the logic board up and off it appears to be getting hung up on the rear, left corner (when viewed from the back, i.e power supply side). I've looked and gently pried (with those plastic loyalty cards from stores) and no joy.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Oddly enough, I've never had an issue removing a 8570 planar. As mentioned before, you must pull the PSU.

Remove PSU
 
The power supply was removed prior to my attempt to remove the logic board.
 
SOLVED: I decided to use considerably more force and it ended up breaking free. Not sure why it was anchored in there so well but it was.
