I bought the E-monster this summer. I find it to be a great computer. First, my games always operated smoothly and fast and it was easy to put controllers and joysticks into it. I find that it has a very fast modem, but sometimes doesn't work. There...

Pros: Can be expanded only if you eventually buy a new full size tower.
Cons: I have owned four emachines, the 533idx2,and the 600 emonsterx2. All of which has problems.

This is the second emonster 600 I have owned in less than 4months and the fourth Emachine in less than a year, low and behold emachines sticks to their history of building a self destructive machine. Within the first month the good old Maxtor 20GB HDD...

Pros: You get to learn how to soilder
Cons: You just wasted $900 on a garbage can
