Emachines are not very upgradable and most of the stuff is propietry (sp?) and needing to get replacement parts from the emachines store as some of the other stuff won't fit. For example: take a look at the PSU, very small power and also the actual unit is smaller than a regular atx psu so if the psu ever goes bad you are stuck with purchasing from emachine store.

Most of those systems are not that upgradable. Really up to your friend, however if you laid it all down side by side, montior, computer, keyboard and tally up the price and show him the cost differences between yours and a full emachines setup, you might be able to persway him with a better machine for the same price or few bucks give or take. show him the differences of the amount of memory and such.
