Thanks, Red.
Well guys, it looks like the PCI-e slots are irreplaceable.. at least by my little workshop. There are 164 pins underneath that slot.

No thanks. The floppy was only ~20 pins and two of them bent pulling straight up on the connector. I can't even imagine the nightmare of a task like this. It'd be like searching for a needle in a haystack if just one was out of alignment with the rest of them, preventing you from getting the connector on.
I'm going to look into maybe fabricating some kind of covers for them, along with the DIMM slots. Still looking into what appear to be very limited options.
