Thank God for the warranty...early adopters beware!

My line out made a screaching noise (at about 120db) one morning for no reason. When I rebooted I had a constant clicking noise coming from it in both OS X and Windows, so I knew the main board was probably hosed.
Took it to the Apple Store, and sure enough they had to replace the main logic board. Because I ordered my Mac Pro when they first came out, they had to replace 1) the entire case! 2)the main board 3)the memory enclosure.
Apparently they have made revisions and the new logic boards won't fit in the original cases. If this wasn't under warranty, it would have cost me $1,166.
I think the only original equipment after the repair are my 3 hard drives, my video card, processor and memory.
Apple was great, and my computer is working good as new....I just thought I would let the early adopters know what to expect.

Did you use the original Manufacture warranty or did you have the Apple Care service plan?
