eMachines eMonster

Pros: cheap for a complete Pentium500 system
Cons: terrible hardware & software

After the eMonster500 froze & lost the will to live due to windows protection error and, I suspect a cracked or faulty processor fan, I returned it for another. I'm brave. This happens a lot to me when I install a computer from scratch. The second...

Pros: cheap and stacks up well to competition
Cons: small hard drive

I originally bought the Emonster 500 when it first appeared on store shelves. It was a graduation gift to me from my parents for graduating from college and it was everything I always wanted.

I am an avid computer gamer and this machine...

Pros: Super graphics
Cons: None

One of the most positive purchases I have ever made. When I went shopping for a new computer I wasn't looking for this brand but when I was browsing in the store and read the info about it, I was sold. The store offered a great package deal. I got the...

Pros: good stock easy upgrade
Cons: nothing but speakers maybe

He said,she said,i heard,someone told me wait this is an owners review.I bought emonster 500a few months ago and cant say enough good about it.First out of the box its a good fast machine throw in software you want(not what your told you want)and be...

Pros: Big bang for the buck...who else offers this kind of power at this kind of price?
Cons: Lack of software, poor tech support

I've been in the market for a new PC for a while, since late October, in fact, but I couldn't find any of the newer Pentium III systems that I could afford. Then I saw an ad for the eMachines eMonster 500. I thought, "Great. A 500MHz...

Pros: Separate components, expansion slots, good package
Cons: needs a better modem

I do not buy junk but I am thrifty, and I have a good eye for quality. The E-monster 500a is STILL a great machine for me.

I bought it refurbished from www.ecost.com and was impressed with the entire package right from the start. This is...

Pros: It's inexpensive and easy to set up and use.
Cons: It's cheap and uses low-end parts.

I bought an Emachines Emonster 500a in January 2000. I split the $1000 cost with my dad thinking it would be a good deal. The specs when I bought it were:
Case $ Power Supply: Mini-Tower 125W
Motherboard: Trigem Napoli-2 Slot 1, 1 AGP, 3 PCI, 1...

Pros: Excellent gaming system, hardware not integrated on motherboard.
Cons: Provided keyboard is poor quality, only two memory banks.

I purchased my eMachines eMonster over the Internet while deployed to Kosovo with the US Army. The computer made it through the military mail system, over continents and still arrived in perfect condition. (I had ordered quite a few that would arrive...

Pros: Great name brand components installed, great service record.
Cons: Bad company support / reputation

Now I am sure you all know my opinion of the eMachine company. If you haven't check my previous reviews. The eMonster 500 however is one eMachine that is still below $1000 and well worth looking into.

Today I was browsing the service records...

Pros: cheap price
Cons: just a bit slow?

First to answer the questions mentioned above. Why? Because it was cheap and the stats sounded impressive. Who would benefit? This would be a matter of 'epinion'..hehe. Plus it would matter if the machine itself worked like it was supposed to. Like any...

Pros: User Friendly
Cons: slightly outdated

I got my eMonster right before I went to college. I have had it for a year now and it has caused me little to no problems. I believe that has its ups and downs, but I believe for the average college student this computer will fit to a T! My eMachine...

Pros: Fast Tech service
Cons: bootable disk short of full OS

+The E Monster 500 was the 1st try at upscale computers by this company and it is a worthy effort. At the time I purchased this for my use I also purchased A dell with 667 mz system. The e-machine is the faster of the two and when I had trouble with it...

Pros: none
Cons: everything

Junk, I urge anyone wanting a good deal on a computer to keep looking. My emonster 500a is less than 90 days old and I have talked with customer service three times. Mind you "service" is not the correct term. First the call is not free 2)...

Pros: eMachine
Cons: eMachine

I have just puchase a emachine computer. So far I haven't had too many problems with it. I'm having a little trouble with a blue screen but its not that bad. Other than that I like the emachine and enjoy the fast speed that comes with it. I was using a...

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