The cost of a new MB & PSU would no doubt exceed the cost of a new replacement computer. You could install the old HD as a second HD. Your graphics are dated. Or you could get a barebones system, which usually comes with case, PSU, MB, processor/hs/fan. You add memory, video, HD, KB, mouse, monitor. Buying replacement parts for propietory machines is expensive.

I recently diagnosed a bad PSU in a friend's e-Machine, and did a Google search using the PSU's model # to check for replacement part info. He was able to order a replacement PSU for about $50 plus s/h. I suppose you could do the same thing for the motherboard, but don't know how much it would cost. If there is any way you can afford it, I would agree with OtheHill ... build a new PC.

The safe thing to do would be to purchase from Emachine. Otherwise you need to make sure they will fit in the Emachine case.

Note that a change of the motherboard will probably mean that you will no longer be able to use the Emachine software that came with the system. Check with Emachine about that.

Do yourself a favor BACKUP!
