eMachines T5234 Desktop PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this budget PC(the T5234) to replace my aging Gateway with AGP graphics. Other than the 3rd party software stuff on the disk I didn't want, this PC does all I want. I changed the memory to 2GB to give Vista Home Premium more to work with and put in an add-on nVidia graphics card as I do 3D modelling. If you don't game much and just do basic computer tasks the onboard nVidia 6150 is fine. I priced a similar Dell budget PC but it only had Vista Home Basic, which I wouldn't bother with. I didn't give it five stars as the PC doesn't have built-in Firewire, something you'll have get a low cost add-on card for to do get moview from a DV camcorder.

eMachines eTower Desktop (1-GHz Celeron, 128 MB RAM, 20 GB hard drive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this system as a bundle with monitor and printer from Best Buy for $479 and it's been incredible!Better than I expected and I even took my savings and added the extended warranty so I could have it serviced locally rather than shipping it to the manufacturer (one e-machines drawback).I just have to watch the CD-RW to make sure it doesn't get too warm.(I was forewarned this is an e-machines drawback) I did get a good response when I called their customer service after I did not receive my rebate--they were friendly and responded right away and did not keep me on hold for a long time--and I did finally receive my rebate!It burns great sounding CDs, and XP has been great--so if you just need an all-purpose system, this is definitely for you.

eMachines T5082 - Desktop PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Searched hard and could not find a better deal for the money.All other manufacturers wantd 2x as much for the same capabilities.eMachines is a winner in my book.
File transfer was a snap using the Easy Transfet feature in Vista.Still getting used to the changes form Xp, but so far it seems like a great operating system in a fantastic bit of hardware.Yes,it has all the "Trial" versions that are being "given" with computers now, but transfering other software from the old computer was a snap.If your old computer died, it is easy to remove the hard drive from the old one and install it as a second hard drive in this computer.
Cons - only 4 USB (2.0) Ports in back and two on front, could have used more.
When teamed up with a 19" wide screen monitor (from another manufacturer) - it was still less than anyone else could offer, by a bunch.

Sony VAIO PCV-RX650 Desktop (1.6-GHz Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB hard drive) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This machine is incredible!I bought it as a replacement for an older Packard Bell Computer I had, and so far I have to say this unit has outperformed even my wildest expectations!The video is crisp and fast, the software bundle is actually useful (unlike other packages I have seen sold, you will actually use the software that they give you).The 1.6GHz processor is out of this world, I have yet to even harness half of it's power!The CD-RW and DVD are blazing fast, and the act of burning cd's is made incredibly easy with the integrated software in Windows XP...did I mention that's incredibly fast too?An average cd takes me about a total of 5-10 minutes to burn from begining to end (depending what type of cd I'm making).The tech support has been solid since day one, with short wait times, and 100% accurate service.I would reccomend this computer to anyone looking for a state of the art system, this has all the connections, ports, expansion bays, and space you'll ever need...if you want to upgrade down the road you have the option, but out of the box this system is ready to blaze!

eMachines Desktop PC with AMD Athlon(TM) XP Processor 3000+ (T3025) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this wonderful PC about 3 weeks ago, and let me tell you, it was money well spent. When my old Gateway died, I found that there was nothing I could do to replace the power supply which had failed. Gateway made it a proprietary part, and I would have had to have paid them 200 dollars to replace it. Needless to say, that is an exorbitant amount of money to pay to repair a 4 year old computer.
With that in mind, I went looking for a computer with high quality parts that were replaceable with parts off the shelf. I quickly found out that other pc makers like HP also use proprietary parts, and that their wiring/mobo layouts are atrocious.
I finally saw the EMachines T3025, and its specs were quire impressive. I determined by calling their technical support that all of their parts are end user replaceable, and that they use high quality parts. Some of these are not listed on any of the detailed specs, but some examples where others would cut corners are: The Hard Drive is a Western Digital ATA 133, 7200 RPM, not some cheap knockoff.
The Power Supply is 300 watts, which supplies more than ample power (compare to HPs usual 150 Watts). The Nforce 2 Motherboard, one of the best chipsets, and it takes ddr 333 memory.
Enough of this technical hodgepodge, how does it run? The answer is that it runs amazingly well. Its functionality is great, and its speed is unmatched in its price range. The Athlon 3000+ and the 512 mb of ddr ram make this thing fly. Its sound is excellent, and it is handled by the motherboard. The integrated Ethernet works well, as does the media card reader and USB ports.
Gaming on this PC is good, but I highly recommend an upgrade in that department for serious gaming. I installed a radeon 9600, which helped immensely, and still ended up at 800 dollars. For that price you get a PC that is immensely reliable, upgradeable, and FAST. It is comparable, benchmark wise to a Dimension XPS costing 3 times that much, but Dell also uses proprietary parts.
Emachine's Tech Support is great as well. I called 14 times, and averaged less than 50 seconds on hold each time before a (GASP) Real Human Being picked up.
This computer has earned my highest recommendation for its budget friendly price, quality of parts, upgradeability (standard micro-atx mobo, Atx power supply, 2 GB ram maximum,), blazing performance, and of course, friendly technical support. A 3 year on site warranty is available via Emachines for the low price of 140 dollars as well - less than 1/2 of what Dell and Gateway charge. Buy this computer, and you will not be disappointed.

eMachines ET1831-07 Desktop (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was having trouble with an old computer (single processor with Windows XP that I have had for 8 years) at a remote site and was looking at replacing some parts when I stumbled across this. When I looked at the cost of replacing the parts of the old computer with buying this one, it was no contest. If you add up all the parts for this computer (purchase them separately here on Amazon), it gets close to $600. This is truly an amazing buy and the speed is actually really good. I have an I-7 960 with a solid state drive (that was extremely expensive to buy) on my other computer and even though this doesn't match that one, it doesn't do a bad job of keeping up. Really, this does a decent job at an incredible price. I would recommend this for anyone replacing an older computer.

For this price, this a great for normal light computer uses, like surfing the web, watching a DVD, answering email, playing a low-end video game. If that is all you ever want to do, then the price should convince you to buy this. But what really impresses me is that (compared to my older computer) this can also do the more sophisticated items much faster. Rendering a video, expanding a zip file, dealing with several tasks at the same time, playing a higher end video game. I am rather impressed by the ability of this computer to do what you would expect in a computer twice as much.

Just on a side note, I deleted all those "trial" programs. I had bought Office Home and Student for another computer and it allows 3 installations, so I just used that. I downloaded AVAST, which is a free virus protection program with great ability. I loaded Firefox instead of using Internet Explorer (IE just doesn't have enough features and is too buggy) and Thunderbird as a replacement for Outlook. I also use TeamViewer to connect all my computers instead of PCAnywhere, PCtoGo, or Windows RDP. All those programs are free (CNet), work on Windows 7, and run much faster and bug free.

Dell Gx270 SFF Desktop Computer, Fast Intel 2.80 GHz, 512GB DDR Memory, Large 40 HDD, DVD/CD Play both DVD's and CD's, Keyboard/Mouse Included, XP Pro installed with COA Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered this last week because I needed a really cheap back up PC. You get the slim tower, power plug, usb keyboard and optical mouse. Windows xp is pre-installed without service pack 2 and my order came with a dvd/cd player installed but no rewriter. All i can say is that it works. If you're looking for a basic pc to just browse the net and download music and videos(no hd) then it's fine. Obviously you'll want to upgrade the ram, video card, and hard drive if you plan on making this your main pc but for something cheap to hop online and do some stuff it's great. While the 2.8 pentium 4 processor is ancient it gets the job done for basic tasks. I'm still amazed that this only cost $65 before shipping. I've seen people on craigslist selling old models like this for $100 and more.
