Just make sure you have like 80 gigs of memory and 500MB Ram.. that will make it pretty fast..  RAM is probably the most important on my list..

Id say just go to dell.com and build yourself a PC.

They usually got some good deals/rebates.

I got my computer from this place called A-Power (www.a-power.com).  It's like a wholesale type place, they'll build a computer for you, I got mine for $300.00 Canadian.  Then I got a burner for $45.00 and more RAM for like $75.00.  There's lots of places like this around.  It's better than getting one from Best Buy.

Check this out homie:

My cousin got a HP about half a year ago. With 3000+ AMD Athlon CPU, 80 Gigs Hard Drive, 512 MB DDR ram, a DVD Burner, and a 17'' Monitor, wiht Keyboard, mouse, and all the wires.. All for 600$ Not including Tax and Warranty of Course. THe video card is kinda weak, but unless you play new games it doesnt matter much. I think she bought it from Circuit City. It comes with WIndows XP installed of course

Get a HP. I had one HP since 99 and it's still just as fast as my new computer, which is also an HP.

I can't believe your eMachine lasted so long. I once got an eMachine, and the shit broke down on me within a week. So I traded it in, got a HP and I've been happy ever since.

Make sure you got alot of disk space & RAm and you should be set homie.
