eMachines etower 733i PC Desktop

Pros: AWESOME price! Accommodates the average home user's needs quite well. Did I mention, awesome price?!
Cons: A half-inch high advertisement bar across the bottom of the screen. :(

If you are like me, looking for a quality, satisfactory PC for the lowest price you can find, then the Emachines etower 733 is the one for you! I am not a wealthy person and I didn't want to go into more debt by purchasing a computer through payments...

Pros: Runs Ubuntu Linux perfectly and can withstand a lot of abuse.
Cons: Default Windows Millenium installation is terrible. Get rid of it.

I bought this computer almost six years ago and I've got so much use out of it considering the incredibly low price. I had expected to junk it after a couple years, but I've recently given it a new lease on life by putting in a spare stick of ram I had, an ethernet card, and installing Ubuntu Linux 7.04 on it. It runs perfectly and handles all the latest Linux applications. I'm amazed at how much of a trooper this little computer has been since it's even been dropped, driven into (it had a brief stint as a garage computer for inventorying boxes), and had paint thinner spilled on it. Yet it still works perfectly and with no funny noises or degraded performance considering it's relatively low end components.
