I don't think that "snapping" electricity sounds emanating from a monitor can
be blamed on a bad motherboard!  If you did have this sound coming from both
monitors and you saw sparks, then I would say that you had TWO bad monitors.
I try not to post too much, but I just wanted all to know that there are many
of us in AMIGA-land that are VERY happy with the video that we are getting 
from our 3000's.  I have NEVER had any of the video problems that I see posted
everyday.  (knock on wood!) 8)
  By the way, I AM still having that 2nd HD problem on my 3000.
