emachines - terrible- avoid .... Poor PSU's which blow and usually kill motherboard and sometimes CPU...

There's another issue which is support. By the time there are private initiatives to give rudimentary support for their products...

 Stay away. WAY way away. Gnarly stuff, aside from the poor support.

Have seen a lot of eMachine units DOA due to a "this will do" PSU.. really a shame that a few extra dollars profit on a system means cost-cutting on critical components. The warranty expires, and so does the system!!
