[stuff about buying gs motherboard and putting in IBM case]

Good luck trying to get a motherboard from Apple.  They won't sell you one;
otherwise everyone would just buy a $380 motherboard and a $50 power supply
instead of a $1129 (or whatever it is now) CPU.  Apple only gives out
motherboards on an exchange basis; the $380 also means that you much give
your old board back to your dealer, who ships it back to Cupertino.

Some places do have used gs motherboards for $200-300; try Shreve Systems or
Pre-Owned Electronics.
