Some of you may have heard the popular eMachines computer systems. These computers are very cheap on the market, bundled up with a powerful package. eMachines are favored among the people who buy cheap computers and I believe most of them are satisfied with it. I bought an eMachines in 1999 for $500 and it was loaded with many features which would’ve been sold for a higher price if it was loaded from another computer brand.

With a low price tag, eMachines comes with a price, the quality of the computer isn’t all that great. Even though I was satisfied with it, my eMachine system started having problems with the fan within a year and a half and eventually it didn’t start up normally anymore because I didn’t the fan repaired.
