If you really want a computer for around $400 that you can surf the net, email, schoolwork, etc. You'd be much better off buying a PS3 and installing Linux. That way you get a good gaming machine to boot. Play PS3 games, watch movies (DVD and BRD), music, etc. Boot into Linux and do some schoolwork or whatever.]]>Oct 22nd 2007 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/
My dad has had an eMachine system for about 2-3 years now with no problems. That's not to say I haven't had a power supply blow up in my face from an eMachine back around 2000.]]>Oct 23rd 2007 8:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/

These machines were never meant for the tech-heads, but for the family-types or older folk who are getting introduced into the computer and internet world. They won't know how to configure, let alone assemble, a desktop tower, so a cheap and working computer is fine.

My dad got one a few years ago because "it's so cheap" and all he does is check email and non-fancy websites with Netzero's 10 free dial-up hours a month, which is plenty for him.]]>Oct 22nd 2007 5:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/
I gotta side with Joshewah here.

LCD screen: not included
Keyboard: $10
Mouse: $5
Warranty: pretty sure all the hardware from newegg has a warranty.

So, $325 for an awesome computer, vs $435 (after rebate) for this... thing.]]>Oct 22nd 2007 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/
Emachines are junk. ?In fact, most OEM pcs are junk.

Do your self a favor, save up, and build a real pc.]]>Oct 22nd 2007 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 23rd 2007 9:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 24th 2007 6:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/Oct 22nd 2007 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/22/emachines-announces-new-low-cost-desktops-for-the-holidays/

Sure you can build a better computer, especially if you pay yourself $0.00/hour. But after adding in all new software (OS, etc), the packaged PC is the better price.
