Did you not get Apple Care? A bad motherboard (and just about everything else except drop kicking it across the room) would be covered by Apple Care.
I got a new hard drive a month before the end of my Apple Care (meaning it was a 4 years minus one month old machine). Which we replaced with a bigger one once the Apple Care was up and we didn't have to worry about warranty issues. (it's now an external/portable)
Lessons for others:
Backup backup backup.
Apple Care is totally worth the money.
