For some reason, I'm doubtful.

  The first PC I used growing up was the family e-machine. If nothing else it had good recognizable branding with that E power button design.

  they just mean, you just need to replace each component and it will be good as new!

  you know, motherboard,ram,ps,cpu. those drives prolly work today if you have an ide and floppy headers.. might need some molex power adapters

  I remember buying an eMachine on credit. It used crazy expensive RDRAM

  It’s still good for some great retro gaming. Or maybe a server of some kind. So yeah, it’s not obsolete yet.

  i've got a couple old emachines mintowers here, one was redone with a new (at the time) athlon ii.

  solid cases for reuse, just a little tight on space inside and zero airflow intake from the front (across where the hdd bracket is). neither really matter if you're not trying to put in a big video card and use ssd instead of hdd. so i just hang on to them in case i come across something new-ish to put in them.

    This actually was eMachines program where you could ship your old computer and get significant discount on new model.

    It had nothing to do with what they think would be future proof.
