I have been hearing emachines suck, but noone says why.

They're *basically* the same computer with emachine including all the bells and whistles for like $300 less with rebates.

Please give me some input if you can.

Thanks.

Emachines are the Sanyos of computers. Anyways Gateway just bought them outa few months back. So take that for whatever that's worth.

I'd build one.. better for the buck. Cheaper, for a better pc.. I take AMD over Pentium.

Just build your own its really easy.

Just build your own its really easy. if not dude get a dell.

I just built a pc with the specs : Athlon XP 3000+, S-ATA 80GB hdd, 1gb dual channel ram, 128 radeon 9700 pro, keyboard mouse for like 400 bucks. All Top brand shit.

build your own indeed. gateway sucks.

bump, thanks for the input guys.

Seems everyone's agreeing that building your own is better... but even if it's obviously more expensive? I mean, throw some more memory in that emachine and it's actually a better computer minus the double hard drives and the 19' LCD...
