Okay, so a status update.
I acquired from eBay an MDD June 2003 single 1.25 Ghz board, CPU, heatsink, 2GB RAM matched combo. When the seller heard what I was doing, he through in the matching I/O panel (without the FW 800 port) for free.
For comparison, here's a photo of the parts that came in my FW800 machine after I pulled them. Note the additional port for the FW800 and also the different heatsink.
The machine I purchased was a single processor 1 Ghz FW800. The lowend model. It was DUSTY! And man did all that dust stink of cigarette smoke!
First thing I did was pull everything out and go to town with the high-powered vac and the canned air.
Then I put in the new parts and put everything back together. (For extra details on the heatsink installation process, see this thread in the lounge.)
