My experience with eMachines is that they are the
cheapest of the cheap, and deliberately designed to
make you dependent on them for replacement parts.
Nothing about it should be counted on to provide the
foundation of a solid system. I wouldn't recommend
spending much money on it.
I had one that developed a power supply problem. I
found many people on the Internet with the same
complaint, under powered as I recall.

Just my $0.02,
I used to support an office that had a few eMachines and almost all of
them had power supply problems,
but be careful with opening the boxes they are very cheap and have
sharp edges.

Just to add my $0.02, I have an eMachine I used for testing websites
and web apps. I had to pull the plug after shutting down because I
would often find it had turned itself back on. I agree about the cases
not being fun to work on.
