Good news everyone: my home insurance agreed to pay post of the  
repair as the failure was due to an electrical surge.

I got my G5 back to day with a new logic board and a new CPU block  
(what's left of the old machine then? ;-) ).

Thanks to everyone who offered their help, it was really appreciated.

Cheers,
