Do not buy this junk.......2007-06-11

I bought a 6420 and experienced multiple problems with the motherboard. I had to send it in for service 3 separate times before it was replaced. Immediately the unit would power up dead 25% of the time. They kept trying to just re-brain the hard drive with a new image and saying they could not replicate it. I would go without the computer for 2 weeks at a time for them to do this. Finally they fixed it by replacing the motherboard and all was well until after the warranty ran out. The replacement motherboard failed completely (the prior problem caused it to fail to boot with the fan running at full speed only sometimes). Now it won't boot at all.

These PCs are really junk. My parents have an Emachine too. I was fond of it, but it failed too after 1 year of use. The motherboard died as well. I don't think I'll buy another one from them. They are cheap, but replacing a PC because it dies every year is not cheap.

Buyer beware.

Inexplicably Dead at 14 months.......2007-06-02

Happily working from home one sunny afternoon on my eMachines T6420, I left it running as I took my son to a doctor's appointment. I returned an hour and a half later to a deadMachine. My monitor would not come out of sleep mode and I tried a different monitor with same result. Unplugged everything, replugged everything ... no luck. Took the computer in to work, hoping the IT guys could figure it out: hoping for something as simple as a video card . But no, IT guys said it could be anything: main board, video card, power supply and that, most likely, it would be more expensive to find and fix the problem than to buy a whole new computer.
Argh! I'd call eMachines support, but I'm two months past the one-year warranty and know I won't get anywhere.
I researched eMachines before purchasing and found they had good ratings for a budget PC. But after this, and after having the DVD/CD drive also burn out a few months ago, I cannot recommend eMachines to anyone. I saved up for months for this computer and will not be able to replace it for some time.

Emachines won't support their bad product.......2007-05-03

My T6420 stopped booting up. Emachines tech support said the motherboard was bad. This is 6 months after the 1 year warranty expired. They told me to call the Emachines replacement parts phone number. Emachines parts department said they do not offer a replacement motherboard.

I LOVE EMACHINES!!!.......2006-05-26

These computers are made very well. I've owned mine for 3 years now and I have never had a problem with it. I have upgraded the memory and graphics card, it's easy and you can use anything. (We obviously aren't fans of Dell). Last weekend we purchased two of these, one for my daughters, and also one for my friend as a wedding present. My girls works perfectly and my friends is in the mail but I'm sure it'll run just as wonderful.

Great PC.......2006-01-29

I have owned emachines for my past several PCs and they have never died on me. Emachines use top quality parts that can be upgraded. This PC uses socket 939 AMD processors. It has an MSI Nforce410 MicroATX motherboard and a 300watt ATX power supply. These computers are niceely ventilated and easily upgradeable.

Looking at a gateway computer? Grab this. Gateway owns Emachines. If you bought this and went to start>run>"dxdiag" it will show the manufaturer as gateway. This is great PC for a great price
