The eMac's guts guessing game!
What makes the eMac run? Are a bunch of rabid hamsters enjoying the extra room that most of Ivy's latest creations didn't afford?
Or,
Is it the round iMac motherboard sitting 'behind' a (very) short neck CRT with wires running to the Airport, drives, speaker, I/O circuits and an analogue board all sitting below the CRT?
The vent and spec gives me the impression that that is how the internals are laid out.
However, the only flaw is that this machine has two 168pin dimms. Could it be a slight mod to the imac mobo (that will hopefully appear in the next iMac rev) or is this Mobo more of an iMacG3 type arrangement (just with better video and G4 tacked on) ???

Seems like it has decent guts, nothing great but at least Apple didn't give it a 66 MHz system bus.
Now that the eMac is buttressing Apple's low end, they should give the iMac a 133 MHz system bus, jack up it's GPU a notch, and outfit it with a 17" LCD! It's time for Apple to own.
It looks the the GPU is the same as the iMacLCD's.
