Macbook Airs are extremely compact, and because of that, every internal component has been painstakingly designed to fit inside of this Mac. Their is likely no other motherboard/logic in existence except for those designed for the Air that will fit into your computer. Those logic boards alone cost about 75-90% of what a new Air would cost from Apple. I hope you didn't spend too much money on your new aquisition.
