Reply #14: They don't suck. The only drawback to eMachines is that they use

[ET Awful]

sub-par components (the power supply for instance). SO it's very touch and go. You might get one that lasts years, or you might get one with a Deer power supply that has capacitors that literally explode and shoot blue flame out the back of the machine :). I've seen it happen.

They make good machines, but use parts from the cheapest bidder, so might not be as long lasting as some others.

Like I say, they don't suck, but I've seen some pretty nasty lemons come from them :)
