eMachines etower 466id PC Desktop

I bought this machine to check my email wih fancy cheap prices!
But I ended up paying more for replacing modems, power supply, and defected monitors.

If people are familiar with upgrading and adding hardware, this machine would be fairly...

Pros: great for a first time user and does everything you want it to.
Cons: None

I purchased my etower 400id in September (my first PC) and absolutely love it... I must be one of the lucky 3/10 people with no problems with DVD either. It's a 32MB with 6.4 GB with a 56K. This is what has taken up my life basically since I purchased...

Pros: cost effective system
Cons: none so far

It has come to my attention that a lot of the people who are rating emachines have never actually bought one.So called computer experts and computer re-sellers are talking about the emachine like it is the worst product since the Flowbee Vacumn Hair...

Pros: Price, ease of use
Cons: loud hard drive, modem

I got my E-tower 466id for a good price a few months ago, and have had few problems with it. Replace the modem right away-it sucks. A cable modem is essential in my book and works fine on this machine. I NEVER run more than one application at a time,...

Pros: great price, great computer
Cons: slow modem, needs a little more RAM

I bought this as a backup machine, a Compaq 5710>96 mb RAM,450 mhz K6-2, 15 gb hd, zip drive,expandability over other computers, but was very surprised when this little sucker beat it hands down in almost everything i do with it..... For a budget...

Pros: No problems, reasonable price
Cons: Haven't got my e-machine rebate back yet.

I purchased this machine in January 2000 and it is our first computer. We have had no problems with it and it is used every day for internet surfing, childrens games, scanning documents and pictures, etc. Since there haven't been any problems, it's the...

Pros: Front USB/Game port, DVD, 64MB Ram
Cons: Only 4MB Video, low quality speakers

With it's 466Mhz Celeron Processor, 64MB of RAM, 8.4GB hard drive, 4MB AGP Video, 56.6K fax modem, a 5x DVD ROM, and a price tag of only $599, this is one of the best computer bargains I've ever seen. I have purchased 4 eMachines in the last 6 months...

Pros: price
Cons: the computer is falling apart day by day

This computer was purchased for me from sears. While reading the other reviews on this product I noticed that people are confusing the difference between the emachine computer and the software. Internet problems, and problems with software are not really...

Pros: overall ok system for the price
Cons: poor tech service

A good buy for the money? Just one opinion. Buyer beware! It's a good idea to check out warranties and tech support as a part of the total package when purchasing a computer. When you think that you won't need them, that's when things go...

Pros: i dunno
Cons: i dunno

I bought a etower a 533id that was the best computer I bought it hass 64mb ram 128l2 cahce 66mhz system bus 15 gig HD 8dx dvd 3d AGP Graphics Intel Direct AGP 56k Fax Modem ITU V.90 K56FlEX. Its a really good computer i got a monitor and all speakers...

Pros: nothing
Cons: the machine is put together by blind people

For the love of god, stay away from these machines. I am forced to sell these machines daily, and therefor have to repair these things daily.
E-machines are by far the worst machine sold currently in retail stores. not just one model in...

Pros: Easy to install, dependable
Cons: Not many

I have purchased three of these as network computers for my business. They have all installed remarkably well and have been very dependable. Two of the machines are more than 6 months old...one was recently purchased. We haven't connected them to a...

Pros: Great price (often comes bundled with ISP deal)
Cons: System slow, often crashes, cheap parts

I bought my eMachines computer two years ago because it came with a special ISP package, which made it one of the cheapest computers on the market. It included a printer, 17" monitor, and a scanner. The only part that wasn't included was an airbag, and...

Pros: Low cost and after months of complaining an extended warrenty
Cons: Cheap

If you want a cheap computer emachines looks like a good deal. Upon taking it home, you will find out that what you got is a cheap computer. I can only blame myself for being such a cheapskate. I have had nothing but problems with BOTH of the machines...

Pros: Works well
Cons: Limited provided software

This system was purchased for homework needs and internet surfing for twice the price listed on the Internet, but with a CDRW, 10/100 Network card, and a high quality 15 inch monitor. I suspect I paid too much for this system and this was probably due to...
