Everyone, I have some really bad news. I gave the second eMac to my brother, who loves it as an upgrade from his old iMac G3.
Unfortunately, my eMac has begun to die.
It started as a problem in which putting it into sleep mode would cause the entire machine to shut off. Coius diagnosed it as a faulty analog board. Today, the screen has started shaking, another symptom of a dying analog board.
I don't expect this eMac will last too much longer.
Second Chance at a newer Mac has failed.
The other eMac and the iMac G3 Ruby are both fine, but i'll need to resume the hunt for a newer Apple machine. I assure you though, this has turned me off AIO's for life. The Quicksilver in the corner is also bricked, but the components still function. I just need to source up a digital audio/gigabit ethernet logic board (at the very least, a Sawtooth board) and it'll be good to go.
EDIT: May be a third time lucky. 3 Gigabit Ethernet boards just came up on eBay Australia for $70 each.
