1. Great Computer 5+ Years Later

   This computer has been so great to me. The only problem I had was that my hard drive died. It happens, a quick replace with my 160GB hard drive ($40.99 newegg.com) and running like new. Only other upgrades were more ram (running 1 GB) and new video card.

   5+ years this computer is still trucking. A great Value!!

   I must say that this computer has been the best computer I have used for the money that I’ve spent on it. After a complimentary Radeon X800 Pro from an ATI promotional offer and some more RAM (only recently purchased for a minimal sum), this computer still runs new games like Call of Duty 2 and Battle for Middle Earth 2 at 1600×1200 at the highest graphics settings. The computer has been fast, easy to upgrade, and the epitome of reliable. The original speakers finally went out this week after over 3 years of constant use. All drives still work great and I’ve still not filled my 100 gb hard drive. For the money I originally spent on this computer ($500-$600), it has been superb. I am very pleased with this eMachines.

   If it had a better video card, it would be just about perfect. After nearly 3 years of use and abuse, this PC has given me very little trouble, and has been a great investment. I would buy another eMachines product if it has a better video card in it.

   I purchased my T2200 model in October of 2002, and I’m still using it daily, it served me well. I agree with the last reply that it is somewhat tricky to upgrade video cards, from the onboard into a new AGP card. Otherwise, the onboard video card is still decent, but you can’t expect high-performance gaming card on a stock e-machines, you’d have to upgrade cards on any system unless you pay top dollar. The funny part is that my old card Nvidia Geforce Mx 4 wasn’t cutting it for me, but when I took it out, the onboard performed well enough to run World of WarCraft when the Nvidia couldn’t. Now I’m running an Nvidia G-Force 6600GT and its just awesome. I’ve taken this computer to many LAN parties and I take full advantage of the 100GB hd, so for the price I paid when I got this computer, its been a very good value.

7. a lot of room for improvement

   When I first purchased this computer it had a defective CD-RW drive and I had to have it replaced otherwise it caused the computer to start up improperly (if it started up at all) and freeze. Once I got a replacement part that problem was solved though.

   However as I gained more computer experience I realized that the entire machine needed to be upgraded. Although it says 40X, for some reason the CD-RW drive only performs at 4x. The video card is useless and is nowhere near the current standards for gaming (GAMERS BEWARE) so I had to get a new CD-RW drive and a new video card but then since the video card that it came with it integrated into the motherboard, I had trouble doing that.

   The computer works fine if all you want to do is go online with it, but if you’re a gamer/computer geek, this machine is disappointing.

   Has served me well. I like the online program updates (Big Fix?) and the reliability.
