Emachines ER1404

Small Quiet Neat Ram HDD size

Linux version supplied not so good Did not like my printer Linux did not detect my wireless mouse or keyboard Installed windows 7 prof 64 bit works ok

Excellent as a HTPC. Would also be excellent as a net top pc. Run fast and is exceptionally good value for money

Perhaps could come with mouse and Keyboard bundle for an extra 20 quid. Not a big issue as I had a few knocking about.

Looks great and functions perfectly as a HTPC running xbmc. Fantastic value for money.

Quiet and good to attached with HD TV for Online Media

Hard Drive wasn't partitioned properly as was showing 26 GB in total but when i installed Ubuntu then got the Full 250 GB...LOL

Compact, quiet and cool. Installed XP, and it runs quite well. Star Craft II and Devil May Cry 4 with 1440x900 resolution run better than on a laptop with Athlon QL-62, Amd 3200 HD and 1280x800 resolution. Really tough on the outside. There's a great...

Drivers for XP are a real issue here. The right pack from nvidia is 15.25, but then an update is still recommended. There is something wrong with the ethernet - after my first install I started off with the wrong drivers, then even windows 7 and linux...
