Ok the skeptics among you where right! My Emachines(T2865) pc completely crashed, the guy at Bestbuy opened the case and immediately said the Motherboard’s fried then told me it would cost $300-$400 to replace it. They then tried to sell me a new computer. It's only 18 months old.

I googled my model and found a replacement @ Emachines for $159.

My question is, are there a better quality motherboard out there, I didn’t see any but did I just miss them?

Secondly, are they difficult to replace? I will have to explain to someone how to do it as I’m disabled.
