Condition & Notes

This unit was in mint condition, and was complete with all the original packaging, power cable, modem cable, keyboard, mouse, software CDs, and documentation.

I also had the optional “Tilt & Swivel Stand” for this eMac, which was a popular accessory used to make the computer more adjustable. Scroll to the bottom of the page for more on this.

I sold it because (a) I needed the space at the time, (b) the box was not in the best shape, and (c) eMacs are known to be especially prone to issues related to leaking electrolytic capacitors (the “capacitor plague” of the 2000s). I am open to adding an eMac to my collection again someday, but would need to have the board serviced/recapped for longevity.
