which is odd considering i had a 1.8Ghz AMD Sempron machine AND a Celeron D machine that both had no issues doing web browsing + music and even things like TH-cam.
@THEtechknight Yep, this one looks like it has the Emachine bezel attached right to the tray. Some other systems have had a dummy bezel that simply flips down, such as the ones HP has used. Those are a little easier to work with. I think this one only needs the tray bezel itself swapped, and not the whole drive bezel. I'll be looking at it more closely later this week.
@beachsandinspector I'll be using a Micro ATX board. I found some that have the LPT port header that I need. It will most likely be a Socket 775 or 1155. I really wanted an AMD A8, but it was a bit out of budget.
@THEtechknight I'll probably end up just using a normal black drive, and removing the unique bezel if it doesn't work on the new tray. Most of the newer drives I've worked with had the button in a similar location, unless they were the type that also had a play/skip button on them. I'll be using an LG drive, but I'm not sure what's currently installed in the case.
@mmmm2158 Certain models had a badly designed +5v standby circuit that would go over-voltage when the caps started going bad. The result would be everything on the standby power getting toasted. Motherboard, mouse, keyboard, some USB stuff etc.
@Maxxarcade Remember most modern motherboards come with an LPT header and a few £ or $ can get a generic LPT header cable off ebay. Done it for a few customers with older printers :-)
I just acquired a bare eMachines case exactly like that to build a system around an Intel Q6600 I have, it will be my first build with a Gigabyte board.
Hitachi deskstar hard drives have proven to be the most reliable brand in the small population of CCTV DVR boxes and servers that I administer. Approx 100 total drives.
@JinzoDefiler Yeah, I've just looked it up on iTunes after receiving your comment, it's the really loud heavy metal song towards the end of the video, I've been wondering what that song is since I first watched this video a few weeks ago. I'm not a huge fan of heavy metal at all, but I don't mind the Coal Chamber song too much, it's OK. Will I buy it on iTunes? Maybe, maybe not.
@rmx77 I don't think this board supports a Pentium D, because it only has a 533Mhz FSB socket 478. I'm pretty sure the Pentium D's were all LGA775, 800Mhz FSB.
@nintendonick I got a good view of it, because my face was less than a foot away when it popped. I don't think I'll be plugging that power supply in again :-)
@THEtechknight actually the cd/dvd rom is a standard just the face plate is a bit different more or less the thing is a bit longer then most drives cause it fits in the emachines and gateway cases so it lies flat to the case but on other cases it doesnt fit flush thats the only difference
If you intend to install a mini ITX board in this case I can recommend the Gigabyte GA-D525TUD board it has a Intel® Atom™ Processor D525 , legacy serial as well as parallel port, I have 2 machines using this board one running linux the other using XP Pro and this board runs far better than the p4 2Ghz boards it replaced. CPU utilization is about 20% for tasks the old p4 would be at 100% (dual core with hyperthreading in the atom525 makes all the difference).
@webvid91 Ended up with a Socket 1155 system to upgrade my shop PC, then I'll use the 775 hardware from that to do the Emachine for work. Wanted Llano but it was about $100 over budget :-(
@reklaimer85 Sounds like the PSU was giving you trouble in that one too. They really were the weak point of most Emachine systems around that time. Also some Compaq systems.
Someone on this videos comments told me that too, I'm not big into heavy metal, but I don't mind that song, I may pick up the Coal Chamber album featuring Loco someday, it's an OK song I guess.
@agoodm Yep, in fact I found some good boards today that I can pick from which all have the header. I hope the boss lets me build it. My current work PC is really getting tired.
dynex usually isn't that bad from what i seen. it is a best buy brand though so they just take stuff others make and puts the name on it so it depends on who made it i guess. i have a dynex router that been using since 2006. never had trouble with it. i have it doing the routing from the wireless belkin memo g+ router that is set as a access point too since the belkin sucks at the routing.
I have a W3400 with an identical case but with an athlon 64 3000+ @2.0ghz, 512mb ddr400, 80gb hitachi, radeon xpress 200, etc... It had a 300W psu that seems reliable, and now my step brother has that pc. Running windows 7 home premium 32 with no hardware modifications lol, we could have upgraded the ram to 2gb, but we figured it wasn't worth the money... the cpu is maxed out at socket 754, i was really hoping it would be 939, but no dual core for me lol, so i just decided to build my own pc
+Jew Jitsu Yep, I've built 3 of these so far with no problems. You might need to change the pinout of the front panel LED connector depending on your board though.
@PhattyMo EVERY hard disk fails eventually. It should come as no surprise that a few dead models of Hitachi deskstars, but they are definately "normal" failures, not deliberately bad designed. I could also say becausee I have 4 failed old WD200/600/800 drives these are just as flawed, however I have had such things happen to every manufacturer I had. I've got bad quantums, WD's seagates, Samsungs, Fujitsus, EVERYTHING. Because everything fails eventually and you come across it.
@PhattyMo Heh, I've had best luck with Seagate so far. I had probably about 12 segate drives in the last 3 years and the only one that died was a 1GB one. Hehe. Conner made pretty good drives too. My main PC uses 7200.10 and 7200.12 drives, with 500GB for the .10 and 1000GB for the .12. I'd love to get a new caviar black but you know... the money :(
@Oerg866 Of course everything eventually wears out and dies,I just find it odd that all the Hitachi's I've got didn't live very long at all. Maybe ran across a bad batch,or just have crappy luck. *shrug* Believe it or not,I've had pretty good luck with WD drives. Okay luck with Seagate.
another problem with those celeron d's: HEAT, since they were based on the prescott pentium 4's, which were notorious for running very hot. if that motherboard was based on an lga775 socket, could you swap that out with a core 2 duo?
I have an Emachine just like that, but mine is a few models up. It's a T2890. I use it for my everyday computing. It doesn't boot all the way anymore. It turns on and makes this ticking noise and the standby light on the motherboard blinks. The CPU fan does slow down. I had the Bestec power supply replaced with a better one when I got it, so it cant be that. I went out and got a laptop. Do you have any idea of how I get the computer to boot to windows so I can at least get my stuff off of it?
Unless I was just super broke I wouldn't even spend the $5 on an eMachine. You have to replace the power supply in these ALWAYS to make them safe to run because of the Bestec +5vsb issue that destroys components. My grandma had an eMachine and the power supply shit on it and EVERY part in the system was stone dead afterwards, hard drive, optical drives, motherboard and cpu, even the fans! Dead!
@Maxxarcade i found out there was a pentium d that had a 533 fsb the one thing is to find a pentium d board cause the one i had was bad when i got it used. the thing blue screened no matter what i did and i found the on board video was toast. i tried ram, hard drive, optical drives. even taking the added video card out to see and thats how i found the on board video port was dead but it would still boot and post but after a while bsod mania. so much for a cheap msi board yuck. what to do
Where are you getting that info? Pentium D is essentially two Prescott P4's working together. Pentium Dual Core is a cut down version of Core 2 Duo, which is a much newer architecture than Pentium D was.
Which P4 and Pentium D are you using? And have you checked to see if the Pentium D is working properly and not overheating? They don't always differ a lot in performance, and the P4 might even be better for single threaded stuff. Especially if you are using a good P4 setup against a weaker Pentium D. They had quite a few versions of both, with different bus speeds and capabilities.
Hey, i could use that MB, ill take it out of your hands if you still have it.and if you could send it though the mail. and if your getting rid of it for free. lol

"Do not try this at home, I am a Professional Idiot" XD lol
i don't know what possessed me to actually like that particular screamo song, but i did find the song. It's Loco by Coal Chamber.
lmull3 it’s probably my favorite song
The AMD FM1 is the bees knees. I built one about a month ago and love it.
That keyboard has some good bass on it.
Those words have probably never been arranged that way before.
you can here the CPU fan getting worked up as its trying to keep the CPU cool due to the the system struggling playing a simple music file
which is odd considering i had a 1.8Ghz AMD Sempron machine AND a Celeron D machine that both had no issues doing web browsing + music and even things like TH-cam.

I have the T3882 and recently gave it a new hard drive. I don't use it much but it's still a fun computer to mess around with.
@THEtechknight I'll probably end up just using a normal black drive, and removing the unique bezel if it doesn't work on the new tray.
Most of the newer drives I've worked with had the button in a similar location, unless they were the type that also had a play/skip button on them. I'll be using an LG drive, but I'm not sure what's currently installed in the case.
I had a hitachi deskstarfor years and i have bashed it around quite good and it still works quite well it is the primary server boot hard drive

Thats a weird music collection.
Going from some blues band to coal chamber, what the hell!
i actually love thos case its the way they look:)
@JinzoDefiler Yeah, I've just looked it up on iTunes after receiving your comment, it's the really loud heavy metal song towards the end of the video, I've been wondering what that song is since I first watched this video a few weeks ago. I'm not a huge fan of heavy metal at all, but I don't mind the Coal Chamber song too much, it's OK. Will I buy it on iTunes? Maybe, maybe not.
The "blues" you played on that hard drive was Al Green's Greatest Hits (Southern Soul).
I've never watched this, but as a word of advice, you need to mix this in modern content, this is great
@rmx77 I don't think this board supports a Pentium D, because it only has a 533Mhz FSB socket 478. I'm pretty sure the Pentium D's were all LGA775, 800Mhz FSB.
@Knaeckebrotsaege You took the words right outta my mouth LOL.
@nintendonick I got a good view of it, because my face was less than a foot away when it popped. I don't think I'll be plugging that power supply in again :-)
I can't remember, but I think I mainly upgraded it because I needed a DVD burner anyhow.
@THEtechknight actually the cd/dvd rom is a standard just the face plate is a bit different more or less the thing is a bit longer then most drives cause it fits in the emachines and gateway cases so it lies flat to the case but on other cases it doesnt fit flush thats the only difference

CPU utilization is about 20% for tasks the old p4 would be at 100% (dual core with hyperthreading in the atom525 makes all the difference).
the song at 7:36 is loco from coal chamber
Not in this case. There were a lot of other things like caps and resistors missing too.
Depends on BIOS support and bus speed. If it's only got a 533MHz front-side bus, then it won't work. A Core Duo might, though.
@webvid91 Ended up with a Socket 1155 system to upgrade my shop PC, then I'll use the 775 hardware from that to do the Emachine for work. Wanted Llano but it was about $100 over budget :-(
@Madness832 I've tried that, but the I/O range is still out of spec for the program. It has to be on 0378h I think.
just hear that cpu fan going faster when playing just a song.
@hello112100 That was probably the root of the problem, but a lot more than that blew up.
I've done it before, but it was quite a while ago.
@reklaimer85 Sounds like the PSU was giving you trouble in that one too. They really were the weak point of most Emachine systems around that time. Also some Compaq systems.
Yes, but the hardware I/O range of those cards is not supported by the software I use.
Someone on this videos comments told me that too, I'm not big into heavy metal, but I don't mind that song, I may pick up the Coal Chamber album featuring Loco someday, it's an OK song I guess.
lol celerOWNED
it does look like a nice case though
Cool case
@chrisstv1979 Would you need the cooler? If not it would be cheaper to ship.
@MechaNintendoMast LOL Coal Chamber...
@agoodm Yep, in fact I found some good boards today that I can pick from which all have the header. I hope the boss lets me build it. My current work PC is really getting tired.
Every time you would open a program the fan would kick up and the computer would say i hate my life
I just got an emachines like this one. the motherboard it had is dead the CPU fan header had no voltage output.
dynex usually isn't that bad from what i seen. it is a best buy brand though so they just take stuff others make and puts the name on it so it depends on who made it i guess. i have a dynex router that been using since 2006. never had trouble with it. i have it doing the routing from the wireless belkin memo g+ router that is set as a access point too since the belkin sucks at the routing.
the mothetboard looks like the intel d845gvsr or maybe the d865xyz
that don't look like a bad computer. i think i would actually keep it like that and see what can find. think it is interesting to see what there is.
That board is long gone. Any other parts got used in something else.
damn that cpu fan is loud
I have a W3400 with an identical case but with an athlon 64 3000+ @2.0ghz, 512mb ddr400, 80gb hitachi, radeon xpress 200, etc... It had a 300W psu that seems reliable, and now my step brother has that pc. Running windows 7 home premium 32 with no hardware modifications lol, we could have upgraded the ram to 2gb, but we figured it wasn't worth the money... the cpu is maxed out at socket 754, i was really hoping it would be 939, but no dual core for me lol, so i just decided to build my own pc
@PhattyMo Ohh god,it even has a Hitachi Deathstar HDD!
@Maxxarcade Yup, every Pentium D was socket 775.
Wow! $5 is a good price for a decent working PC!
*shudder* E-machine. Gag me with a spoon!
So it can fit any Micro ATX motherboard? Just want to make sure because $60 is pretty expensive for me.
+Jew Jitsu Yep, I've built 3 of these so far with no problems. You might need to change the pinout of the front panel LED connector depending on your board though.
@TheSmashCOBamberg yeah i would like to find stuff like that. they would charge at least $100 for that at flea market and stuff here.
@Maxxarcade Yup, my bad. I just looked at the settings for my card & it definitely has some odd range.
Blues and Screamo? Who the hell owned this machine!?!
Would you willing to part with the original eMachines MOBO and maybe the optical drive, if the price is right I'd like to have them.
@PhattyMo EVERY hard disk fails eventually. It should come as no surprise that a few dead models of Hitachi deskstars, but they are definately "normal" failures, not deliberately bad designed.

Believe it or not,I've had pretty good luck with WD drives. Okay luck with Seagate.
i have a case that looks a lot like this one that also had a bestech, so i switched it out for an allied.
oops i ment pentium d not celeron the pentium d i have is a 3.0ghz pentium d
another problem with those celeron d's: HEAT, since they were based on the prescott pentium 4's, which were notorious for running very hot. if that motherboard was based on an lga775 socket, could you swap that out with a core 2 duo?
Looking at that CPU heat sink, it’s probably the socket 478.
I have an Emachine just like that, but mine is a few models up. It's a T2890. I use it for my everyday computing. It doesn't boot all the way anymore. It turns on and makes this ticking noise and the standby light on the motherboard blinks. The CPU fan does slow down.

Do you have any idea of how I get the computer to boot to windows so I can at least get my stuff off of it?
Can you fit a modern motherboard and cpu in this case?
@JinzoDefiler Coal Chamber? What's that?
You should post a link to your eBay store!
My 2nd PC was this brand.
nevermind i found it its called loco by coal chamber
is it possible to solder in a agp if it has the space for it but no slot
Unless I was just super broke I wouldn't even spend the $5 on an eMachine. You have to replace the power supply in these ALWAYS to make them safe to run because of the Bestec +5vsb issue that destroys components. My grandma had an eMachine and the power supply shit on it and EVERY part in the system was stone dead afterwards, hard drive, optical drives, motherboard and cpu, even the fans! Dead!
@drewyah100 of course :P
@Oerg866 Tell that to the stack of dead Hitachi drives in my closet. The IBM ones were even worse,they were dead straight out of the box.
is that a hitachi deskstar hard drive???
was it a bestec 250 watt
@Maxxarcade i found out there was a pentium d that had a 533 fsb the one thing is to find a pentium d board cause the one i had was bad when i got it used. the thing blue screened no matter what i did and i found the on board video was toast. i tried ram, hard drive, optical drives. even taking the added video card out to see and thats how i found the on board video port was dead but it would still boot and post but after a while bsod mania. so much for a cheap msi board yuck. what to do
you probably dont know but what was the 04 track 4 song ?
It will not be a failure because I'm a professional idiot
hatachi death-star if you ask me!
Lol I wanted to see the fire
i have a celeron d i could use on the board but i dont have a board for the pentium d :(
Al Green. Looks like they rip the cd.
I thought I was the only professional idiot on this planet. 0o
common mistake, they forgot to FORMAT THE HARD DISK!!!
bahahah no prongs. best shit ever.
hey max can you send me the screamo?
Professional idiot :D :D :D you made my day
2:04 yah i bet that dident smell good
Al Green
That mobo was from a Dell im pretty sure.
Urgh Coal Chamber
No the pentium D is single core too you are confused with the Pentium Dual-Core
Celeron D is single core, but Pentium D is early dual core.
No, that is the Pentium Dual-Core
Where are you getting that info? Pentium D is essentially two Prescott P4's working together. Pentium Dual Core is a cut down version of Core 2 Duo, which is a much newer architecture than Pentium D was.
well that doesn't help anything cuz my prescott P4 running at 2.8 is a lot faster than my Pentium D at 3.2 (overclocked)
Which P4 and Pentium D are you using? And have you checked to see if the Pentium D is working properly and not overheating? They don't always differ a lot in performance, and the P4 might even be better for single threaded stuff. Especially if you are using a good P4 setup against a weaker Pentium D. They had quite a few versions of both, with different bus speeds and capabilities.
@Knaeckebrotsaege my point exactly :D and dhl sucks, true :(
Hey, i could use that MB, ill take it out of your hands if you still have it.and if you could send it though the mail. and if your getting rid of it for free. lol
Hahah :D do not do this at home im a proff idiot yeah me too welcome to the club i done that on a few broken psu :D
you're*
Satan music machine !
