mystery metal block

[geoffnorfolk]

This is my first post so forgive me for asking what might be a stupid question!! Fitted a new power supply and had the pc on its side with both covers off. After putting it all back together, found a quite heavy piece of metal on the floor.... 80mm long 40 mm wide and 10mm thick. It has a recess in it carying in depth from3mm at one end to 8 mm at the other, Did this fall out? If so, what is it or did the cat bring it in?!!! Many thanks

That thing looks new to me! I have no idea what it is.

Yes, its really odd.... It looks like something might sit in the recess but the "plate" isn't secured by anything. Anyway, the new power supply has worked and its all working fine.

If it didn't fall out of a computer.. I'd say it was an Ink stone for Asian style calligraphy.

You're a genius Commy1!! My wife had an old caligraphy set which has never been used, in the room at the time the pc was open.... there's an empty compartment in the box which matches the size.... amazingly well spotted and many thanks.
