I have an eMachine 667 Celeron; or rather, I had one. I've since upgraded the mb to a nice Athlon XP2000+. Before that, the computer worked fine for me, although I must admit the accessory parts were a little cheap. Of course, at $499 including monitor, I can't really complain about that.
The single most irritating thing about the old motherboard was that there was no AGP slot per se, so I couldn't upgrade the video without replacing the mb. It wasn't much of an issue, though, it served my needs (even if not my wants) up until it simply wasn't a fast enough computer anymore.
If you're considering getting an eMachine, my advice would be to invest in halfway decent offboard video and sound cards sooner rather than later, just because upgrades are cool. Keep an eye on the hard drive; they tend to be cheap Taiwanese pieces of crap (although I AM still using mine, no problems yet).
I don't know what the power supply ratings on some of the newer boxes are, but mine was *only* 120W. Even so, there's been no issue with it. If you're going to runa bunch of high-power stuff tho, you'll obviously want to replace it.
The best feature it compactness. Nice small, rounded cases, easy to carry under one arm. Add in a flatscreen monitor (eventually) and you'll be all set. LAN party, anyone?
I think they should market the Segway in a foriegn country where they are less anal and more likely to accept new technology.
Perhaps Japan or something....

Affirmative action for game shows?!? What is this world coming to....
The one Japanese company that has really given Xbox great support is Tecmo. DOAX is already the top Xbox seller.
Oh right... I forgot that we are not allowed to talk about anything else and move on with our lives.
