Founded in 1998 by Lap Shun Hui, eMachines was a manufacturer of economical personal computers, ranking 4th in American computer sales by the next year. It was a joint venture of South Korean companies Korea Data Systems and TriGem. The company sold PCs for $400 and $500, all without a monitor. eMachines was acquired by Gateway, Inc. in 2004, and itself acquired by Acer Inc. in 2007. The eMachines brand was discontinued in 2013.
