[QUOTE="Rackhir, post: 1443208, member: 149"] I used to work at a CompUSA and Emachines were never exactly highly regarded. My personal recomendation would be to build your own system from parts, but it does require at least a passing familiarity with the individual components. It's not rocket science, basically you need to know enough to just keep trying things and not panic if you run into any problems. I bought the hardware to build two systems for my work recently from NewEgg.com and had no problems with them.
