Well after trying each of the places listed here, I didn't find a replacement MB. So I did another search and found one on EBay (shudder, hope it gets here) at a reasonable price. Now I'll most likely have to buy a cpu to replace the one on the dead MB...sigh. After this mess, I'm going to start saving and invest in a Mac. Thanks for all the help. BTW: Pugetsystems.com has the best deals on parts and highest rating.
