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.

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. Lee wrote in message ...

Be careful if you let any eMachines rebates enter into your decision. The
company is famous for reneging on rebates. wrote: Im in market for a new PC.... having just sold my old Pentium 3 unit Im looking at this eMachine model see link http://tinyurl.com/44ulm Ant one out there own this unit and have advice or feedback?
