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.

so basically your emachine failed several times, so now after repairs its basically a whole different computer.
why is it that no one can say "gee your right"? they always have to be at the top.
The information i posted was not pulled out of my ass. im looking at an old t1400 motherboard right now.
a customer a few years ago (who stiffed my on the bill btw(i was only a kid so i didnt do anything about it)) had me repair her t1400 because it wouldent turn on. i replaced the power supply and it worked for two days and then the motherboard blew. she then said forget it and i built her a new machine. she then claimed she already paid me.
so thats why i have a t1400 motherboard.
Any other information was from articles written about the all mighty crappyness of emachines. i know that emachines suck because they are often sent to me to be fixed!
Emachines once used a stolen capacitor formula. the formula was stolen WRONG and resulted in faulty motherboards. That's how great these units are. Dont get me wrong - emachine is not the only brand that used these boards.
(
Badcaps.net - What Causes This. )
"I have had several eMachines of that vintage come thru . . everyone had ruptured capacitors . . eMachines used a really poor powersupply as well . . If you do replace the motherboard ( almost any MATX, Socket A will do ) suggest you also replace the powersupply." (
E-Machine W2785 Service Manual - Tech Support Guy Forums)
Everyone has a different story when it comes to brand names. Most of the time, when someone stereotypes a computer brand name and says the company makes bad computers - they are usually just retarded and/or had one bad experience so now they say they are all bad - claiming that the computers do not run well and constantly have errors.
But this is physical damage and cheap parts known for failing.
Emachines were so great that they were BOUGHT OUT by another unpopular company - Gateway. (Gateway is bad IN MY OPINION. I have no proof that they are bad)
Not all Emachines are terrible; Before the company went private in 2001 is when they were using cheaper components. their whole deal was how inexpensive they were - how you too could own a computer for a low low price! with free AOL! WOWEE!
if you do a google search for "emachines" you will find plenty of stories and reviews that include words like "poor quality" and "limited" and "candidate for the shredder" and "known for giving children cancer and AIDS."
