These things are heavy and very hard to handle and move I think they were a
pretty stupid thing for Apple. I loved the G3 built in handle on one of these
would be so helpful. I have a 1Ghz version that I picked up for $80 its fully
functional and in pretty much mint condition. My question on this are these
something you could part out to eliminate the need for shipping costs and the
pain of lugging the heavy things to the post office. Speaking of eMacs could I
exchange my logicboard for a 1.25Ghz one to upgrade and if so is it worth the
cost and the pain of upgrading?

I recently purchased a complete 1.25 GHz eMac in perfect working condition with
a bigger hard drive, Combo drive and 1 GB RAM for $75. Comparable prices on
eBay range from $75 to $150, plus shipping (big $$$). Damaged, iffy machines
are worth whatever someone wants to pay for them (i.e., little to nothing). If
each of these eMacs can be demonstrated to boot and run without video or other
problems, and the three capacitors that can be seen inside the bottom access
hole aren't bulging/leaking/tilted, then they might be worth $50 in as-is
condition. Less to free for those that are damaged or have running problems.
Besides, the darn slippery things weigh 50 pounds and don't have built-in hand
grips like the G3 all-in-ones.
