In case you are not trolling, e stands for external here. External GPU = eGPU.
Not trolling, just stupid. Of course it stands for that. I'll leave my comment up as a monument to my ignorance though.
Mind you, it's understandable to be confused if you're unfamiliar with external GPUs. A lowercase "e" as an affix can stand for all kinds of things in an IT context. Electronic. Education. Extended. External. Whatever the one in eComStation was supposed to mean; probably also "electronic".
