eMachines ET1831-03
$390.00
Released September, 2009
The Pros:Still offers decent performance for the most basic tasks. 7.1-channel integrated audio--decent quality for a prebuilt machine. Chassis is plain and relatively compact--wouldn't look out of place or take up too much space in a home theater setup.
The Cons:Dated specs--DDR2 RAM, Pentium CPU. High price point for what you get--much cheaper to build a low-power PC from scratch. Very limited number of USB 2.0 ports (6).
