Hey all, Got this a bit over a week ago, but I finally got around to posting about it.
I picked up an eMac that needs the capacitor repair for $10 at my university's surplus shop. It's in 1.25/512/80/combo configuration, and has a modem, but it looks like it does not have an Airport or bluetooth card.
I'm thinking of getting a 1.42 board for it off of eBay, there's every indication in the service manual that it'll work just fine, and if I can pick one up for about $50-100, I'll have only sunk about a hundred dollars into a moderately fast G4 system that I can use for whatever as a second computer, or that I can give to a friend who might need or want a mac or a desktop system
