True, but for someone that doesn't know alot about computers needs the support of a good warranty, which you can't get by building your own. When you build your own you are stuck with manufacturer warranty which is a PITB.

i finally got a new computer from a little shop in my very little town after owning an e-machine, and never again am i going near one of those beasts(no offense to those who manage to live with them). I bought my e-machine from future shop and it lasted less than 6 months, i took it back more than once to get it fixed and it came back in the exact same condition, i presumed it hopeless and unpluged it. I would strongly recomend NOT buying an e-machine!

E-machines,,,,,,,,,,don't they give them away free now at 7-11 with the purchase of a big gulp and hot dog.

I heard a rumor that with all the rebates on the emachines at best buy, you come out about fifty bucks ahead because they pay you to take the things knowing that it will generate alot of return buisiness at the repair desk....

LOL. I wouldn't find that the least bit surprising.... They probably need the storage space in preparation for the football season. All the Joe sixpacks are gonna want their big screens

just as good as any other name brand computer in mass production, they all buy their parts from the same Chinese warehouse. I've had several with good results.
