Emachines are just pure crap. I had one of them a few years ago (emonster celeron 650) and it's the wost computer I have ever had.
1. It had no AGP slot since the integrated video was on the AGP bus
2. It had only 2 PCI slots which I used for a video card and a NIC card
3. The power supplies SUCKS....only 120 watts!
4. It only had 2 ram slots and the manual said it could only handle 512mb in those 2 slots
5. The fan on the CPU burned out somehow within about 1 year of owning the computer
6. After changing the operating system to Windows 2000 I could no longer get half decent sound in any video games like Half-Life because the integrated sound drivers were part of the recover disk with windows 98!

AHHHHH I hate prebuilt computers, they suck. Prebuild computers are for people who don't need to upgrade. People who use their computers for things like email, internet, word processing and book keeping, nothing more. If he wants to use it for gaming or even something like having lots of data on his computer (more than 1 hard drive usualy), he NEEDS to get a custom made one.
