eMachines ET1161-07
Inexpensive ; ample room for future upgrades
Slow CPU ; wimpy hard-drive capacity and memory combined with 32-bit Windows

Solid multi-tasking performance, Surprisingly quiet, Works great right out of the box, hard to beat power per dollar, reads my SDHC cards!
Slightly dated and underpowered components compared to leading and cutting edge offerings today.
"Great PC for the money!"

Good processing power, 3GB RAM (expandable to 8GB!), PCI Xpress slot (with room for double slot cards)
Onboard graphics are weak but easily upgraded.
"Great for the price!!!"
None
Cheap, 3 Gigs of memory, and a nice 320 GiG Hard drive... Cant beat that for $399.00.
Had to upgrade the graphics card
