    The Compaq 8000Z, $1,189 after $100 rebate. Mail-order only.

    eMachines have a bad rep, but they're not a bad unit. As a former Best Buy employee, the only problems we seen were the powersupply fans going out after 2 years and making a ton of noise.

    Some of my former co-workers still have some of the first eMachines running as Linux servers to this day.
