So long as you didn't totally fiddle with the CPU's when you separated the CPU board you should be okay, It lat least cost me problems when I separated the heatsink fro the CPU board in my old O2. Forget BGA'ing it if it's stopped working. You've nuked it and you'll have to find another CPU which is unfortunate as dual CPU modules tend to be expensive.
the Cadduo card IS awesome. I have one myself and it's cool to have two people running graphical sessions ont he system and palying quake against eachother.
Also, the Compression Connector looks like this:
For any reason, do not touch it. Do not even brush dirt off it. You can only clean it with compressed air. The gold contacts on the midplane though you can easily clean with a Q-tip.
There is one particular board of the Indy which is the cool of all cool pieces of hrdware. It's the Nintendo Ultra 64 Development board. It's quite rare and very expensive but amazingly, I found one.

True only for the Octane technically. The Indy as previously stated can do H+V sync while the Octane requires a monitor that supports Sync On Green.
