First, I'd like to thank everyone for the help. What it turned out to be
was that something on the board must be bad. I eventually got past the
infamous multi-sync issue with the CG6 (where you have to unhook the
monitor cable and re-connect it when the machine is coming up). What I
got, though, was a display with evenly spaced vertical black lines. I'm
assuming some of the RAM is bad (or something) on the board. If anyone
has a better answer, please send it to me!

Thanks!
