Pretty sure a new logic board is sold without any heat sinks. Could you post a picture of the GPU Heatsink? You could make a makeshift heatsink... Or just buy another Pismo one.

2.5" SATA SSD drives which would constitute "dedicated SSD" can be used with the rather expensive Acard SATA to 50 pin SCSI giving you a very nice 3.5" 50 pin SCSI form factor with…

I know you're anxious, but if you can wait, you can buy some epoxy-type heat sink compound and put the heat sink on permanently. I use it for putting heat sinks on my m68040s on my…
