Travel straight back to 2010 and the height of budget computing nostalgia with an authentic, ultra-compact desktop classic: an original eMachines EL1352 Small Form Factor (SFF) PC!

Sporting eMachines’ distinctive gloss-black micro-tower styling with chrome accent banding and a vivid green-illuminated power medallion, the EL1352 packs full desktop utility into an exceptionally small footprint. Powered by an energy-efficient AMD Athlon II 170u processor running at 2.00GHz, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, and a spacious 500GB SATA hard drive (449 GB formatted NTFS partition with 346 GB of free space), this system runs a clean, authentic installation of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit (Service Pack 1) complete with the classic Windows desktop gadgets.

For retro gamers, emulation fans, and vintage PC enthusiasts, this machine provides an authentic turn-of-the-decade hardware environment for classic PC games that run into scaling problems, DRM errors, or compatibility crashes on modern Windows 10/11. Backed by integrated NVIDIA GeForce graphics, it is a fun, dedicated rig for running favorites like The Sims 2, Civilization IV, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, Plants vs. Zombies, Half-Life, Warcraft III, and StarCraft.

Despite its compact size, it offers phenomenal peripheral connectivity with 5 front-facing USB ports, an integrated multi-card reader, dual PS/2 legacy ports, 10/100 Ethernet networking, and native analog VGA video output (ideal for pairing with vintage CRT monitors or 4:3 LCD displays).

Condition Notes

• Functional Condition: 100% bench-tested and operational. Boots smoothly into Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The AMD Athlon II 2.00GHz processor runs quietly and cool, memory tests healthy, and the 500GB hard drive reads and writes cleanly. Optical drive ejects smoothly, all USB ports respond promptly, and the onboard VGA port outputs a crisp, clear video signal.

• Cosmetic Condition: Great vintage condition overall. The high-gloss black front bezel and dark metal chassis are structurally solid with no broken doors or cracked plastic. Shows light, normal cosmetic surface marks and faint hairline scuffs on the gloss finish consistent with careful use and handling over the years. Original front badges remain intact and legible. Please review the high-resolution photos for an exact look at physical condition.
