YES! $5 each! SCORE! I've been sick for the past week with a monster cold, but on the bright side I was actually home to receive the mail. My two NEW motherboards came in. At $5 each I nabbed two just in case. I got burned the last time I did this.

Fortunately, the two motherboards are flawless! Zero leaking caps. Everything is minty green. My LC is now booted! I'm gonna pimp it with my Presto 040 card. All I need is a SCSI to Ethernet adapter.

The cool thing is that I can resurrect the other LC I bought jut for parts with the second motherboard. Now I have two LCs with brand new motherboards. :D

On a side note, is there any advantage to using a newer revision motherboard on the original LC? One of them is an older revision with the giant capacitor over one of the chips, and those horrible plastic RAM lots; the other is a newer one with the metal RAM slots, but it's missing the giant capacitor.
