doesn't the 6360 motherboard require a different power supply? I know that you can use a 6300 motherboard (I actually had a 630 that had this done to it), but not the 6360 unless you replace the PSU.

I don't know about the PSU. That may be an issue. I actually have a 6320 board here that I wanted to use, but I think the PRAM battery is dead, so I was never able to test it. The 6360 is the same form factor with the same connectors so that much isn't an issue. A compatible power supply still shouldn't cost much if it is a problem.

I think that the fact that it's a complete redesign of the logic board and CPU is the reason for the PSU replacement.

Eureka! The explanation is at the end of this article:
