You got your money's worth. Repair costs may be close to the price of a new entry level computer. If you have to buy a motherboard, power supply, and hard drive (and a new copy of XP because your restore disks won't work on a generic motherboard) that's getting pretty costly - more than the computer is worth. Yes, you can get exact replacement motherboards, but eMachines charges 4 times what they are worth.
