My thought on this.
It seems to me it the same machine.
He is just replacing the motherboard, case, cpu.
However, he won't be able to use the restore cd on the emachine.

I would recommend getting an xp oem home or pro. Installing it.
Just make sure it comes with hardware (Technically I don’t think you
need the hardware-since you rebuilding the computer)and has a coa.

However, One 2 disk of the emachine restore disk-You can find your
some drivers if needed. Since, you have a different montherboard you
may not need them-except maybe for the modem.
