It is cheap in both price and construction. The question is and has
always been, does the machine's specs fit your particular needs. For
most folks, it is more than enought to view the web and print the
pictures of their kids. If you spend a lot of time in front of the
computer, do yourself a favor and match it with a high quality monitor.

I bought my SO an eMachine a few months ago, it was a refurb from Tiger
Direct with an AMD processor. I have been very positively impressed with
its quality. It has a lovely case, very easy access to the innards, sleek
design, lots of bang for the buck. I have also read some very good reviews
of eMachines in general, they were #2 in satisfaction with their service in
one review I read. If I were buying myself a computer right now I would
definitely be looking at eMachines.

I have had 4 GW machines, and now have two GW's and two EM's, and they all work fine. I bought the EM's for my
grandkids, and they punish them, but so far 2 years they still work fine. So if you are looking for a more or less
basic machine, then you can trust GW/EM.

Will do

Was thinking of a Princeton 17" lcd monitor for it

Greetings,

I bought a Princeton 17" monitor from Costco. The graphics looked ok. My
digital pictures looked ok. However, text in Excel and Word did not look
very good at all. Also, text on web pages did not look good either.

I returned the monitor with in a week. I ended up buying an NEC monitor.

This was my experience with Princeton.

Good point. Also, what is the basic warranty on their systems? 1 year?
Less?

What NEC model did you buy? ANd what size?

Be careful if you let any eMachines rebates enter into your decision. The
company is famous for reneging on rebates.
