A deal too good to pass up.

by Jeff Ashley on Dec 17th, 2007 at 12:16 PM:

This computer came as a package deal, with CRT monitor, speakers and Lexmark printer for just over $300, and this was around late 2005. It's run well with a lot of use. I put 2GB of RAM in it and it sails even smoother. The only funky thing is that from the very first day, any audio out of the speakers has an annoying echo. I've tried to import audio from CD's (store them as MP3's and play them with RealPlayer) and you get that same echo with much of the vocals missing. It's almost like the sound board is outputting L-R instead of L+R. In other words, it sounds like you're listening to the difference between the stereo channels instead of the normal stereo audio. Really wierd. I've looked for some kind of sofware settings in the control channel, thinking maybe I had an echo effect activated, but I can't see anything close to that in the speaker settings. So I finally called e-Machines and they told me to upgrade to a newer sound board. Sounds like a finacially beneficial solution for them. I hope it works. ($80)

GOOD GOOD FOR THE $

HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD THE LAST FEW YEARS. ZERO PROBLEMS. CHANGED MEMORY TO 1GB A YEAR AGO. FOR SURE I WILL BUY AGAIN

Decent machine but slow

I recently acquired this PC and overall it is a decent machine but speed is an issue due likely to barely adequate memory. It boots up very slowly and is really slow connecting to various i\Internet sites! In general it is slow to respond when opening programs. 256 megs of ram is just barely sufficient to get the job done!I will have to upgrade the ram to improve performance to acceptable speed.

Decent bang for the buck

I bought one of these PCs in December 2004, and initially had lots of problems with it - horrific read/write times on the disk and constant chain-faults. But, after using a restore DVD on it (a week after buying it...) it ran perfectly fine and continues to operate in excellent condition, although it is in need of a memory upgrade to accommodate certain software packages. Although I have moved from budget PC's to high-end laptops for my needs, I still use this computer somewhat regularly, if not daily.

Good and Bad

I too have been happy with the overall way the computer runs. Same as Taz - the power supply litterly sparked blue and yellow flames - had to yank it outside quickly! Mine is also a little over 2 years old.

Swapped out the power supply but mother board is DEAD :-(

You can buy a power supply for under $50 that compatable. Best Buy just wants $$ Now I need a mother noard ($50-100) depending on whre you look.

This was a xmas present from my son - sorry son, the PC is now dead.
