WRT the PSU, a lot depends on what you want out of it. Note that it only has a 20-pin connector, so it won't really be suitable for the latest motherboards. And dual 80mm fans mean it won't be as quiet as some of the ones with a single 120mm fan.
For what it is, the e-machines system is not a bad price. However, you need to remember that with many of these sort of systems they cut costs to the last penny. This often means leaving out the very connectors you would need in order to upgrade them. It is obviously not a PCI-E system, that would have been mentioned if it was. And there's no mention of an AGP slot either. So straight away you are hampered in any potential video upgrade you might have been considering. Give it a miss.

and it's specifications, I suspect that the eMachines uses this motherboard: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p...M2-IL&class=mb
So it does have a PCI Express slot. In fact it's right at the top of the picture.
It doesn't use a Sempron. It uses an Athlon 64 3200+.Quote:

I'm quite surprised actually...all the low end PCs I've seen with "AMD a64" CPUs have had s754 Semprons installed.
I assumed...and look what happened...hoisted on my own petard by an observant Canadian.
Oh, the humanity!
