I have had several eMachines of that vintage come thru . . everyone had ruptured capacitors . . eMachines used a really poor powersupply as well . . If you do replace the motherboard ( almost any MATX, Socket A will do ) suggest you also replace the powersupply.

Get this: The people who owned it either took the power source apart or had someone else do it :P. So when I got the PSU, it had no case on it and parts were falling out! Thankfully I keep at 450 watt one laying around.
Triple6,
I read several posts were you said that and I must agree. In fact, when people buy one I most of the time say "Goodluck getting it fixed" in a polite manner.
As for the drivers, they are easy to find man

. Go to there website and it is about the only thing I found helpful. Only problem was, Vista drivers are hard to locate.
As for the quality of parts, yep. In fact, I saw this issue on another forum and they did pretty much everything I did except one guy claimed he left it up overnight running and it came back... But for how long? Mwuahahaha.

Either way, MATX or ATX size? I dunno what size this is currently, but I could always switch cases (I think I have one laying around)
Thanks guy =).
