eMachines T5082 Refurbished Desktop PC

[TacoProduction5]

i have one a lil further back like 2002 and it crashed so i bought a 800 gb hard drive and my computer has 4 ddr 1gb slots so i have 4gb memery and i put a 3d graphics card and upgraded to vista and thisbaby runs pretty good haha oh and i also improved the audio card this nigha be popin haha

[samhuang1999]

forgot to cover up the serial for vista at 2:23 lol

[PARTYMARTYFTW]

I'm on one of these right now. LOL. I bought it in 2006. The DVD drive was the first and only thing to go out after about 3 years. The only thing I've upgraded is maxed out RAM at 4GB and a cheap GeForce 210 card. The OEM Radeon Express 200 is shit, obviously. Running the 160gb HD still with two external 1.5 TB's. I'm not a gamer but I ran Plants Vs. Zombies and League of Legends with no probs. Photoshop or GIMP, pretty slow as you would expect. No complaints though, it is very old.

[PARTYMARTYFTW]

@PARTYMARTYFTW  OOPS! Maxed at 2GB. LOL

[thunderbolt997]

hey TigerDirectBlog you should have metiond that when you watch a 10 min clip on you tube that it blacks out and then dispaly driver failed

[Nima5124]

@thunderbolt997

turn off hardware acceleration in adobe flash settings.

[thunderbolt997]

this pc is pice of shit i have it

[sgsauer225]

@thunderbolt997 I agree.. My parents bought this computer a couple years ago because they were on a budget and a friend thought it was a good one. Unfortunetely, at that point Vista was new so noone really knew it would suck so bad! I just purchased 2GB of RAM for it hoping that will at least make it a little more useable as I doubt we'll be getting another anytime soon :( If you want, I can let you know if the RAM helps at all. (When it arrives)

[samhuang1999]

@thunderbolt997 lol

[2kidd2]

is it compatible with geforce 9500 512 ddr22

[mcdaydavies]

WHAT! windows vista with 512mb ram? i can imagine the speed!!!

[TheLucasMollet]

@mcdaydavies I have this computer, and surprisngly it runs so much faster than my Compaq from last year with Windows XP

[cramre00]

OK this seems too happen to me allot, when ever i shutdown my computer (t5082)

it fails to start next time i turn it on i was wondering if thats just me or are there others?

[X3freako]

I HAVE THE graphics card and it sucks!!!

[imalejandro117]

this was the best guy were did he go

[beast4ful]

I have this desktop but what graphic card can I use with it agp or pci-e. I want to upgrade to play modern warfare 2.

[thunderbolt997]

@beast4ful  fuck this computer i bought a new one. it sucks pixel shader 2 come on

[vangstaz]

@thunderbolt997 This computer is built for office users, it's not a gaming computer dipshit. Research first before you start talking about something that wasn't built for what you want. That just proves how stupid you really are into thinking that every computer is built to play games. Pathetic...

[thunderbolt997]

@vangstaz yeah i know. i know alot more about computers now i didnt know alot about computers at that time

[moneykidz1]

512 ram? VISTA?

[miko376]

hey i currently have this pc, and im planning on upgrading the power supply so i get enough power for a new video card/

It comes with a DPS-300AB 15 and im wondering if a Thermaltake PurePower 430-Watt Power Supply will work/fit as a replacement ?

[blatnica800]

i have the same one lol good ps works with my 256 should work

[lilmatsi95ACOG]

wow my computer gaming sucks and i have xpress 200 im guessing u guys shouldnt buy this for gaming trust me lol i run cod4 at lowest settings i cant watch hd vids and also i use yitch3 to make cod4s settings even lower and i still lag

[finkz808]

is this duo core?

[2007excalibur2007]

Read video descriptions before you ask something... >_>

"The eMachines T5082 packs a punch with Intel's P4 631 3.0GHz 64-bit processor with Hyperthreading technology."

[imalejandro117]

yes

[blatnica800]

i have this machine since it came out at best buy since then i put 2GB Ram and this is now a quick machine and reliable if you upgrade it only i saw a big difference when i put that in and then i put vista ulimate 32 bit

[miko376]

hey, what kind of ram did you use to upgrade?

i used PC2-5300 but it isn't activating dual channel memory

[blatnica800]

does not support dual channel memory i used 2x1gb kingston

[miko376]

PC2-5300 or PC2-4200 ?

[blatnica800]

5300

[zman519]

DONT NOT buy this POS. trust me. its junk

Windows Vista + 512 RAM = NO GO & slow bull shit

[jamesnuutinen]

this is over a year old >.> i dont think anyone would want it now anyways... " DONT NOT buy this" does that mean buy it?? =S

[Glasseh]

I think it does? Negative+Negative=Positive! Yeay!

And besides, it is as you say, this video is over a year old. That P4 is totally hardcore! xD

[chadheck96]

My computer was over $800 and some of the specs in this machine still beat my computer.

[iluv2hack]

i have the same computer its nice not great but it does what it needs too. all tho even a monkey would now not to instal vista on a 512 ram. that was very sad have to upgrade. i did hear alot that there power supply failer raiting is at 3.78% in th first the motnh

[iluv2hack]

and at 1 year its ane 56.23% if it fails there nothing left if fry's the mother bored on and on my i know know about other people but my dispay drive keeps failing the screen will look shut off sheapers will shu off and be back in like 3 secs

[skbuoy]

I'm using the same exact PC. The only reason why we bought an eMachine is because of the price. It is the cheapest. However, eMachine isn't great. We had problems with our older eMachines which had the AMD chip instead. Our new one has the intel, however it isn't any better. HP is light years ahead, but they are expensive.

[ooberpwnage]

Right when he said Pentium 4 I felt like burning a baby.

[flameboyab]

ya this is the first time i've heard of one

[flameboyab]

wats a emachines

[Xx371xX]

Will any hard drive work?

[dellsucksass]

GATEWAY BOUGHT EMACHINES

[Sterg514]

LOL, thats what i thought, i said to myself, hmm that looks exactly like my gateway lol

[aschris87]

well sorry to say people the life span of an e machines is a 4 year life span cause the mother bored fries an the only thing that left working with no damage is the hard drive sooo dont buy one and one morning it wont even power up so good luck people|.

[g4t0r5]

I have an Hp it has 5 Gigs of RAM!

[TheInfamousGrunt06]

i have this very computer...i would have to say only having 512 ram is ok if you cant afford to put more ram in it...but i got a 1gb stick today and put it in it and it runs much better...actually.. i can pop up like 6 ot 7 things at a time and it still doest slug...so just because its a emachine doesnt mean anything!

[blits411]

My cousin has this PC and I tweaked it for them them (settings in Windows Vista) and it runs soooo fast! I can't beleive it goes so fast for only 512MB Ram.

[blits411]

Check my Favorites (its in there) Its the one called "Make Vista 50% Faster"

[gearsofjack]

umm i have this machine is awsome i played flight simulator x with it not much lagg (with out buildings) and now i upgraded to 2gbs of ram and now it runs mad good in games and all mmorpgs to so this is good

[Acerfan2010]

get 2 gigs of ram and an ati radeon HD 2600 pro 256 mg ddr g card. with a intel duo core processor 2.6ghz

[wahehe20]

dude, celeron?? evn my grandma knows dt celeron family pc are no good..at ths point, evn a 2.0Ghz core 2 outperforms a 3+Ghz celeron..u shud try 2 be knowledgable abwt ur processors..and tke a look at Acerfan2010's comment 2u..u myt learn sumthn..

[delkmeister]

your wrong pal. this is the best computer i ever owned.and it plays evrey game you put in it,with a g-force 7600 512 on bord ram.kicks ass bro

[martenfox]

vangstaz you admit yourself you've never even used one of these sytems. i've driven red cars, does that mean i know what red ferraris drive like?

[kingofporn89]

this computer suxs dude any virus u can get u get regard less of ur security oh ya the cd/dvd burrner suxxxxxxsssssssss big donky balls this is the worst envestment iv ever made and i dont make bad envestments

[xxjaberwockyxx]

Could i run Team fortress 2 on this, anybody?

[H31MU7]

If you put any video card in above a 6600GT, then yes.

[Toby111213]

no not even with a good video card. you would need a lot more ram as well

[Zlyzer]

No. Fuck No. Not with that intergrated graphics chipset and that amount of memory. Basically, it's computer suicide throwing 512MB RAM with Vista and then taking 128MB of it away with intergrated graphics.

[fresno93703]

this can play any games. low settings. but still can play with good resoulution.

[Kaijudo009]

Don't listen to these people. I have TF2 and I have this PC. All I did was put 1GB of RAM in it and it runs great. BF2 also runs great and Half Life 2..... It is well worth it.

[Kaijudo009]

Don't listen to these people. I have TF2 and I have this PC. All I did was put 1GB of RAM in it and it runs great. BF2 also runs great and Half Life 2..... It is well worth it.

[narutoid44]

i run Team Fortress with 2 gigs of ram and a Nvidia 6100 video card, and it runs perfect

[Rusty0918B]

We don't buy non-laptop/notebook computers anymore, we just build 'em! Yeah it might cost more, but at least you know what you're putting in, and you don't have to deal with cheap power supplies and such!

The old machine I had before was probably better than this! (Even though the motherboard overheated one too many times).

[H4xx0rKing]

just downgrade to xp. then you dont need more ram

[dh2130]

what the hell?!!!! i paid $500 for mine!

[DarkX1079]

ROFL You paid to much!

[LyricalLordz]

this computer is great!!! i ordered this from Tigerdirect and installed my Nvidia BFG Geforce 6200 OC video card on this machine and it ran COunter Strike Source smoothly!! no laggs!!!

[snesjunky]

people are always saying emachines r shit?!! there not.Okay.fist things first.ALL computers r shit as they have there standard components as you buy them.people are saying that something like a dell is better.but it aint.computers are computers.unless you have say what.... 1GIG of RAM mabye 2, a decent graphics card, probably the ATI brand,decent enough space, processors running at a good speed,probably 3.0 GHz just basically upgrading your PC parts

[xcryinginrainxx]

Emachines are nothing but pieces of shit.. unless you just want to get online... but that's just too little RAM.

[DJWilsonX9]

not really ultimate uses 600+MB of RAM.

gateway=emachines and I got a gateway...and it runs vista very smoothly.

[Noobixide]

Trash, don't bother. Too much CPU for so little graphix and mem. eMachines are cheap crap anyway. PUTTING VISTA ON TRASH ALWAYS MAKES FOR A BAD IDEA.

[mRipX]

8 or 9 yr old?

get em a fucken book, have them read not be playing flash games or have them on youtube like some folks

[Sammy7s7]

Vista on 512 RAM? It will crash under its own bloat.

[Zarbod]

That's probably true.

[hollow334]

responce to zombie112: IBUYPOWER!!!!!

[erdalea20]

great deal for only 269 etc and you need at least 1gb of ram for Vista, I wonder if this baby comes with its own gpu card?

[hollow334]

e is for evil, go to ibuypower and get a true pc.

[zombie112]

or cyberpowerpc, or better yet buy the parts and put it together :D

[postpet04]

Very first!!!
