[quote=Im On The Phone;128000]EMachine T1400:
hard drive spins at a wopping 5400rpm, the fans are Loud as hell, and tech support is reputed to be shit (as most company's today.)

Yeah it got trashed quick. It has a 7200 150gig drive now.

Its excellent processor performance is because of the poor performance of the built-in graphics card.

Yeah that got upgraded with 128mb Nvidia pci card...

Expandability is limited. The T1400 has two SIMM slots, and both are in use. There's really no place to add additional internal drives. It does have three PCI slots, though the Ethernet card takes one of them and it doesn't use AGP.

Actually it did have a place for an extra hard drive. And while I had it, it had a 300gb seagate as the second internal. Of course that blew the original power supply so I upgraded that to 400W too....But I gave the T1400 away when I moved.


OH. Now i see why it preformed so well for you. you probably weren't using it for anything else but typing up word documents.
I' came to this conclusion when you said you had 512mb of ram and seemed to think it was a good thing.

512mb was the max for the T1400. The memory slots only took 256mb of memory each. It was used just for surfing the net and listening to music. I have 4 other computers scattered around the house. My neighbor across the street just gave me a T2341. Just ordered 256mb AGP video, 1gb memory, and gonna hook it up to my 32" LCD TV as a netsurfer until I finish my network shelf, then I'll throw a couple 500gb Seagates in it and use it as a music server while I'm at my dialysis clinic.
