Dude, definitely go Emachines. They are really low cost, but highly upgradeable. I bought an Emachine a year back, it came with 512 RAM, an Athlon xp 3200+, 160GB hard-drive, and a geforce4 MX graphics card. For only 450 bucks it was a perfect computer. It was also very upgradeable, so when I got more money I was able to make it better. I know that you can go to Best Buy and get an Emachines for around 400 bucks, and a few are really good machines. Just make sure that you dont buy one with a Celeron or Sempron processor, go with the Pentium 4 or Athlon 64 models.
