        NO. Had one back in '97. Crashed constantly.

        Move along. Nothing to see here.

            Emachines are cheap crap, build your own b0x from name brand components after reading reviews for them by searching google or hardware sites.

            Failing that, dude get a dell.

                Never owned one, but had a friend at the University I went to who bought one. The thing never worked right.

                Get a Dell or build your own box, not to hard to do.

                    No, avoid them like the plague. Compaq, IBM, HP all these commercial pcs suck. My advice to you is to build your own or get it customized.

                      NEGATIVE: dont buy one of those crappy things. friend of mine had about 4 in a row, kept returning and each subsequential replacement was shittier than the next.

                        Dell has deals routinely for $398 or $349 systems even.

                        WalMart has linux based systems for about $199

                          I've had good experiences with them. I put the employees on them, back in the day.

                          Check out tigerdirect.com if you want a machine that you won't have to put together.

                                Depends what you want it for...entry level, it would probably do the trick.

                                Remember though, price is low because the parts are basic...if you need speed, build your own or pay a little more for a better product.

                                    I bought a emachines for $400..
                                    athlon xp 2400+
                                    128mb ddr pc2100
                                    48x cdrw
                                    xp home

                                    ended up frying the cpu, now running on 1.3GHz athlon xp.
                                    upgraded to 392mb ddr. threw in a 64meg vid card...running 2k now and it runs basicly flawless.

                                      Im on an emachines at the moment. It was an okay system, at the time I got it (4 years ago) it was the best that I could afford with my budget.

                                      But, first one I had, power supply went out after the first year.

                                      Im getting a new one soon, either going with a Dell, or with a system I build myself.

                                        HELL NO


                                        I used to work at Fry's electronics and we sold them and 90% of them came back.

                                        They are shit

                                        There is a reason they are low price......

                                        use your fucking brain

                                          I bought about 10 of them when we started camchicks.com

                                          After building a couple machines out of the cheapest parts I could find, I figured out it was actually cheaper to buy new emachines!

                                          We have run them 24/7 for 3 years, and had a few harddrives fail, but given our extreme usage I consider that excusable.
