      Comments about eMachines ET1831-03 Desktop Computer:

      Purchased as a replacement computer. Exceptional
      performance. I did not need all the extra goodies,
      just a good size hard drive and memory storage.
      Highly recommend for home office use. The price
      is justified at an unbelievable low cost.

        The computer is just fine. Worked as advertised. Good value. Set up with windows 7 was smooth. Only wish it had speakers. I still do not know which ones to buy. Computer without sound just is not complete. Sandy
