thingsforjason Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 i have no reason to hate or not hate the emachine...haven't used them. :) but i don't understand why you need a PSU to install a video card...don't u have a PSU in there already (to run the computer)?

Guest deadzombie Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 Yes, I hate eMachines. I think they are a menace to society, and since they've been pushed on America en force, I haven't felt safe to walk the streets alone at night. Not to mention an eMachine stole my car once.

liar2 Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Perhaps your e-machines isn't so bad anymore. At least, now that I've got your geforce2 working ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgwanaRob Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 I love my eMachine. Bought it used off ebay - eTower 400i2. It's got a 400 celly in it with 256 MB RAM. It is by far my hardest working, and most stable machine I own. Of course it's running Win2K Server ;) Average uptime is about 90 days. It runs my webcam, MP3 server, FTP server, as well as being a central file server - it has an 80 gig WD (the 8MB buffer one), a 30 gig WD, and a 6 gig samsung (I think), as well as an old HP CD-RW. I was using it as a game server for a while - but it couldn't handle all that load and traffic at once. It used to have a VooDoo3 2000 PCI in it, but I blew it out when I had it running in this machine with a dual monitor setup a few months ago, so now it uses the default/built-in video (some 4MB ATI crap). Since I don't have to stare at it all the time, I don't mind the crappy video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis_nehc Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 mmm, I was at Fry's today and my friend is thinking of getting a computer. And we saw one for $399 emachine, specs as follows: 1.7 celeron 128mb ddr ram integrated graphics integrated audio 40 gb 48x cdrom 10/100 ethernet 56k modem scrollin mouse keyboard speakers and a slick looking case. (the cdrom was pretty cool) anyways, I thought it would be a good deal for him, since he's not going to be playing games, etc his main usage will be mp3, word, surf net, etc and all he needs to get is monitor, good speakers, and cd burner. (and possibly more ram... since he would probably want XP) any comments? p.s: dude, my bad, I think I just hijacked your thread... so here's my voice: I don't hate emachine because I never owned one.

Steven Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 A Computer has..... 5 or 6 PCI Slots, 1 AGP Slot.... Where one of those PCI Slots is filled with a Real Sound Card. Emachines, do not fall under "my" description of a computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyL Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 My one and only computer is an eMachines 633id Tower...633MHz,256 RAM, CD-DVD/ROM...speakers are ok, keyboard is eMachines (uninstalled the eBoard crap :p ), 20GB HDD (with 18 GB available - almost empty :D ). I have no problems with it at all... it was a birthday gift to me from my son in 2000...it is good enough for my use. I don't listen to music on it or download much of anything except for smilies (422 of them in my collection :cool: ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
