eMacs are/were Apple's olive branch to the education community when the 
redesigned the iMac and increased its price.  Up until recent months 
they were the least costly & slowest systems (which can still run 
circles around my older than dirt Pentium II that still serves me 
faithfully).  eMac have/had the same design as the original iMac where 
the CRT and part of the system.

I purchased an eMac for a project (eventually fell through) because few 
places will lease an Apple system in Central Ohio (most leasing 
companies didn't know what an "Apple" was...) and those that do lease 
them think you should pay several hundred dollars per week.  I opted to 
purchase one rather than flush 75% of the purchase price on leasing a 
system for a week or so.

I don't think hardware is a problem as I have used it regularly for web 
browsing, watching video clips, etc. but I will run the diagnostics that 
someone shared to verify.  I did wipe the system clean and 
reload/repatch it and the same issue occurs so I am pretty sure the 
software is okay as well.
