I, too, have used the Softsolutions upgrade method for a couple of analog
boards.  They're really fast, send you quality stuff, and you end up with
a better power supply than what Apple sold you.

For people who want to get into this more, there's a book on the verge
of release called "Macintosh Repair Secrets" by Larry Pina from Hayden
Books.  I got a chance to skim through the galleys (the author is a member
of our local user group) and it looks extremely well done and documented.
You might want to keep an eye out for it for the next month or so.

Disclaimer:  I've met the author through a local user group, and he has
given me some technical advice which has helped me do some really 
inexpensive repairs, but, frankly, this should be all the more reason for
me to recommend the book to you.
