Yes I have been inside the emac. My question, and maybe I wasn't
clear, was whether any of the internal parts, particular the logic
boards or perhaps the down converters are interchangeable from say
the first generation of the emac to the ati emac or beyond.

Interchangeable ... with what?
Have you ever been inside an eMac? You don't want to go in there.
The "guts" are so tied together and unified that the replacement is
all one big piece and called a "hemisphere" by Apple.
Let's put it this way ... I work in a Mac repair shop. We take
apart computers all day. We don't disassemble eMacs -- we (can)
replace the actual CRT tube, the "hemisphere," and the hard drive
and RAM. That's it -- anything else is far too much work, and not
feasible for us to do. That's not to say it's impossible, but we
don't think it's worth it -- and trust me, we get paid a fair
amount per hour.
Cheers
