Turns out it wasn’t a bad logic board. All they did was replace the hard drive.
FedEx dropped it off to me at El Casa today, I turned it on and it booted right up. Applied all the updates and put the 2gb of RAM back in and everything appears to be good to go.
You do know, of course, that I will be performing regular back-ups on this device now, right? Good thing I’ve got that 250GB external drive sittin’ on my desk at home.

I’m beta testing Mac Mozy right now, from mozy.com It’s their mac client. So far it’s great. It’s like carbonite for the PC.
I haven’t had to test it’s recovery portion yet, and would rather not
but it’s a great back up service so far. Runs when your machine is idle, slowly backing up, then syncing.

I was reading about that over there on your blog and was planning on checking it out after the config on this machine was done and I saved an image to my ext. western dig drive.
Thanks for the tip!
