First I have to get a new mainboard.

It was a pretty good deal, paid much less than for my V5 6000.

Yah, sorry! :-[

My last post was done before you discovered that the in-built video on the MB was broken... ::)

GOOD LUCK with getting a new MB! ;)

No problem, I got a new mainboard now: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6701562231&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

It will be send to Gary who will send it to me then. Then I will try to get the Mercury running.
