Is there a PCI-e connector? Or is there nothing?

[wizard101emily]

ya shouldda seen my piece of crap dell it was dustier then shit!!! i turned it on one day it blew up i had to call nine one one omg it was terrible it

[Zaharkl]

what the hell is this? its not good its a piece of garbage. good is atleast 4gb ram, daul core cpu, and not stock video card

[aramistech]

lol

[wizard101emily]

@Zaharkl lol i am on one right now its brand new i got it from wallmart :DDD its the same one wow my computers on you tube i was about to list it for nothing??????? yay

[occupant272]

@Zaharkl for $200 it *IS* good. Dropping a 4450B dual core CPU in mine this coming week. Waiting on some better PCI video card choices but will probably go with a 9500GT when I find one cheap.

[xDFoRcEzZ]

@Zaharkl thats not good. good is a intel i7 quad core 16 gb ram 2tb harddirve a gforce gx

[occupant272]

Great box. I got one used for $215 back in June and had it for 6 months. Gave it to my kids last week. It's no speed demon but my son plays GTA Vice City and San Andreas on it just fine. I do intend to install a dual core processor, though. 3250e-4050e-4450e-4850e-5050e will all fit and use less power than a regular AM2 socket chip. I do expect to have to add a fan if I go any faster than that. I heartily recommend EL1200-EL1300 machines to anyone needing a cheap basic computer!

[occupant272]

You CAN upgrade to 4GB, not 2GB, it WILL work. Some of the 4GB will go to video so you only get 3.3GB. So I put 3GB in mine. One new 2GB chip cost me $25 SHIPPED! The DVD drive is easy to remove. It is NOT complicated. Remove one or two screws and it slides up out of the way to access the memory and hard disk. Go watch jmurrayil's video entitled "Add RAM to Emachine 1200-06w PC". If you remove the modem you can fit in a low power, low profile, PCIe x1 video card. Try the nVidia 8400GS.

[aramistech]

Thank you for your input about this computer, I'm sure it will help others.

[mrfourtysevenman]

hd is a little hard to get to along with ram but good computer.

[teakjoey008]

can u put a sata card on the pc or it already comes with one.if so,were it is located?

[Pendragon1989]

I have the same thing. Except I bought mine without the monitor, which comes with 2GB of RAM, which is not bad

[aramistech]

Overall this is a nice computer and for the price you can' beat it.

[thebond22]

i may buy a emachine t3516 but it has a radeon video card which is a big plus and all for $100

[aramistech]

I normally do not like emachines but I have noticed they are making nicer and cheaper machines.

[applesauceprod]

can u overclock it?

cause i have an old emachine

n could figure out how to overclock it in the bios

[aramistech]

I don't think you can. I did not find anywhere in the bios options to do this.

[applesauceprod]

i no

i meant couldnt tho

but yeh

does look like a good computer

[halloween55684]

was tht sarcastic?

[Aspireonthego]

really you can put it anywhere? then y dont you shove it up your ass.

JK

[whoneedsapple]

ha lol.

[Aspireonthego]

I have one of these pc too, i upgraded mine to 6gb memory and 1tb (1000gb) hard drive

[halloween55684]

you can put up to 4 total gigbaytes in there NOT 2. thats wht it says

[aramistech]

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.

[Lazyjay666]

what ram did you use?

[aramistech]

DDR2

[azerok1]

thanks a lot man

[aramistech]

You're welcome, Thank you for your comment.

[poussin78640]

i just bougth one emachine el 1200-qm7z (AMD athlon XP 64 X2, 3gb of ram, 320gb hard drive) today, i tried it on the pre-installed system (Vista), it's very quiet and fast, i want to create a small nas/web server at my home, i'm very affraid to see all that people say "eMachines sucks", i pray to don't have a failure... (sorry for my bad english)

[aramistech]

Not all of them are bad I actually have a customer that bought 4 of them and they are working fine. They use them all they long and have not failed yet after 8 months.

[edo11111111]

I have the same dell monitor

[aramistech]

Yes they are my favorite. Sleek and with USB ports on the side. I think dell makes really nice monitors.

[edo11111111]

yeh i got mine cheap in ebay for 100 somethin and it was new

[aramistech]

Really good price!!!

[backlash44566]

i have a newer modell of that comp in absuloty

love itss great is ur in college like me with a budget sorry for spelling

[aramistech]

Finally someone says something good about this computer. I agree it is a great computer for anyone with a budget. Thanks.

[fudgums95]

To upgrade the RAM on this is a BITCH!!!! I accadentally bumped the power conection to the SATA2 hard drive and i almost didnt reconnect it but after i did it wouldn't load so i had to get annother one so DON'T BUMP THE CORD.. This can be avoided by PUTTING THE DVD ROM THINGY IN THE CORRECT!!!!!! PLACE!.

[fudgums95]

Also the machine can be upgraded to 4 GB of ram.

[aramistech]

Thanks for the tip. I would like to add that 4GB is great if you have a 64bit operating system if you have 32bit operating system then about 3GB is the only amount windows will see. Thanks again for your tip.

[aramistech]

Hey thanks a million for posting this. This will definitely help others. Thanks again.

[bozoka11]

eMachines could have done better

[aramistech]

It works, it is not a gaming machine but it will help you get alot of work done. I don't think it is that bad.

[Lazyjay666]

i have this computer also,it has 1 available pci express slot,so i'm able to add another graphics card but i will probably have to get a low profile one.i haven't looked inside yet to see.

[phineox113]

wuts the grafics capability

[aramistech]

The video is not a high end card. You can play for example call of duty 4 by turning off high settings but don't expect this card to run everything. I mentioned before in this page what this machine is really good for. Gaming not really but you can get alot done with the graphic card on this machine. Hope this helped.

[phineox113]

yep thanks

[aramistech]

Your welcome

[renecool007123]

is this computer able to chage grafics card????????????

[aramistech]

I don't belive you can, everything is very tight in there. The thing about this computer is that is good for overall daily work, e-mail, watching videos, spreadsheets, surfing the web, etc..

What I really like to use this computer for is for a home theatre maybe to stream movies from netflix. You can change the DVD drive and put a blueray to complete it.

[seansfilms]

1.6 Ghz is waaaayyy to godamn slow

get hp slimline

14 lbs

4 GIGS RAM

2.7 Ghz

[calrogman]

I'd just install Linux on that thing.

[aramistech]

Yes I agree you could do that but since there are so many programs out there written for windows, you actually end up missing out because while I like Linux, most of the software I need for example is for windows. Maybe that will change one day. UBUNTU is a great choice for a free linux choice.

[calrogman]

What exactly do you need? There is most likely an open source version for every program you use now.

[aramistech]

Listen you dumbass, the computer you are recommending to build here does not have windows included since it looks like you put 0 cost because you probably pirated the damm thing.

For anyone building this computer and paying for the operating system, it makes no sense to go through all that trouble when you can pick one of the shelf for the complete $200 and start using it. Saving you time to buy all the parts, building it and programing it. The only sad little man around here is you dumbfuck

[jiros1]

In your dreams pal

[aramistech]

You should first try this machine before putting down that much. I used it and it runs great. If you build a computer yourself the saving will not be that great since you also have to buy the operating system. This is really more for someone that wants a simple nice computer for running Office, using the internet, email and everyday use.
