I already did that for my wife's computer, it was a pain and it took several hours but it was well worth it.
Now that I have, I intend to pick up another OEM copy of 7HP-64. The only reason I'm still running it is because I hadn't swapped the processor yet.

Your current windows is tied to the emachines board. Then you can put any micro atx board in that you like, and purchase a new windows operating system to go with it. I would leave your system alone until either the board or power supply fails. You can't solder an x16 bracket over the pinout. I'm glad I only spent $215 on this one back in the day! These small form factor computers are really annoying when it comes to upgrades. These EL1200 boxes sell cheap used ($75-$125) and even cheaper with dead motherboards (one for $40 on my local CL). I would still have the EL1200 board and could attempt the soldering job and see if it'll run later. If that won't work, I might spend the $55 to pick up an X1200 motherboard, drop in my 4450B processor and 3GB of memory, then get a low-profile x16 card and go with that. Is there any reason I can't just solder an x16 slot into that pinout and have it work? It's my birthday and I'm entitled to ask stupid questions today so here it is: If you then go look at an Acer X1200 or AX1200 you'll see it's the SAME MOTHERBOARD but there is an x16 slot and it has an 8200 graphics on-board instead of 6150SE. There is a pinout for an x16 slot on this board. There isn't much in the PCI Express x1 category and the ones that are there are $60+ and only slow cards like the 8400GS. 6150SE is nothing worth keeping, so I'd like to add a video card. The computer is nice and responsive and with 3GB of RAM wants for nothing until you get to the games and the graphics. I purchased a dual core processor (4450B), put that in, AWESOME difference.
But I want them to be able to play some games and enjoy the computer a little more than they do now. I've had this computer for over a year and since it is a slow little dog (single core Athlon 2650e) I've moved it on to the kid's desk.
