I am actually thinking of getting a Mac as a replacement for my current desktop and this looks like a good deal.
 
One thing I want to say about the eMacs, is that they look so nice :D people think they don't look as good as the iMacs, etc. But they are a really nice machine :)
 
Only problem with these is they aren't easily upgradable like the PowerMacs...that's what I hear. Isn't that true?
 
Correct, but what could you really need to add? everything is pretty much there. It's only stupid things like video that can't be upgraded, no real difference from a notebook.

If you really need to you can pop open an eMac and replace almost anything anyway (obviously that's via un-supported methods, and probably voids your warranty, but if your that bothered about upgrading, I'm sure you dont mind)
 
True. Just something people should know if they feel they might want to upgrade the RAM, HD or video card somewhere down the line.
But it sure is a nice Mac for the price it's offered at.

RAM is easily upgradable :)

If you buy the config Sean has recommended though, your getting 1GB which should be plenty for quite a while :)
 
A very nice deal. And I agree, eMacs are very pretty to look at.
 
pshhh...my computer is just as good as that one. I hate buying computers from the stores and all that they have too much stuff in the way to upgrade and all that crap. Plus your ccan build better ones for half the price.
 
Not strictly true, it's just harder to source (the main) parts than it is for x86 :)
 
yeah, drive to california and ask nicely.... can i please have a G4 case for £30 thank you :)
 
I am in California.

make it 3, im not being picky but i would like a dual 2.5 liquid cooled, 2Gb of teh ram, 23" LCD, no 56k, 2 x 250Gb SATA and see if you can find one of those Applecare boxes near the door :p
 
2gb?! tut tut. These things are 64-bit, get 8gb!

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
