eMachines are junk. I purchased one the motherboard went bad along with the memory and the hard drive after having it for a year and a half. Follow this link http://www.dell.com/us/en/home/desktops/desktop-inspiron-546/pd.aspx?refid=desktop-inspiron-546&s=dhs&cs=19&ref=dthp
it cost the same as the emachine and you will get a much better pc along with Dell support which is much better then emachines **** a@@ suppport.

I always just wait for those huge Thanksgiving sales..

Even though you're trying to save money E-machines is not really a trusted brand. The lowest I would go for is Dell, but HP is good if you catch a great sale!

Dell has something for the same price:

Staples had a Compaq for $280 (it was $380) in their weekly ad. It's a few pages into the ad so search through it and then click on it:

Be careful when trying to find the cheapest electronics...with the title of "cheapest" doesn't always come the title of "best". So don't necessarily  aim for the lowest of the lowest price.
