Look on e-bay. I replaced an eMachine T series with a mobo from a used Dell. I have had no issues since.

Buy a new mobo at Newegg.com (if you live in the US). Much less of a crapshoot on whether it will work or not. What kind of processor do you have?

I recomend this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138019
It is relatively cheep $43, decent quality (Biostar) and It has the same chipset as the original so there shouldn't be any compatibility issues.
It is a socket-A, micro-ATX board so it will take the cpu and fit the e-machines case.

Be sure to replace the power supply!
The reason the motherboard went bad in the first place is most likely the power supply.
Emachines use the flakiest power supply I have ever seen. They'll test good but if you leave it in, your new MB will be fried in about a week. This has happened to me about 6 times in the last couple of years before I learned my lesson. Id replace the original MB in an emachine for a customer and within a week, the new MB was dead!
BE SURE TO REPLACE THE OEM POWER SUPPLY IN ALL EMACHINES!!!!

There are actually a few motherboards out there that your emachine restore ghost CDs will work with! I was doing a little experiment with a spare system... it has an Asus P4B533-VM mobo, has similar specs of the W2888's motherboard. I inserted the restore ghost cds to my parents emachines w2888 and once it was finished, i rebooted the system and windows started up without any problems! I was even able to go into the activation window, change the key code to the old key of my moms old fried emachine T1840 and activate windows. So it was a pure success. So just look up the model of the fried board in the system, find the chipset, and look for a similar motherboard with the same chipset, and you should be set. I don't know of you also had the restore CDs to this system as well, but i figured i would throw in a suggestion.
