does this happen often? luckily the system still works, nothing else was affected apart from the network interfaces. and I have a dead NeXTstation Turbo mobo from which I can take the exact same part...

I have never seen that happen.
I've never seen it either (touch wood).
Phew!!! :P took the DC-DC converter from a dead monoturbo slab mobo, replaced the nearby electrolytic capacitor with a fresh one, crossed fingers and powered on the cube: it's alive and pinging! it seems that nothing else was affected when the DC-DC burnt up. happy-happy-joy :lol:

Nice job Michael, congrats on the successful repair!
It seems to be a DPS1202G DC-DC converter which is still available and is not expensive. E.g.,
