3. eMachines T3642
Editors' rating: 7.9
The good: Fast single-core CPU makes up for lack of a second core; large 250GB hard drive; most fully featured desktop in its price range.
The bad: Upgrading the memory requires you to throw out the two sticks it comes with.
The bottom line: eMachines nailed the $300-$400 desktop with the T3642. It has a faster CPU, a larger hard drive, and is generally more capable than any other system in this price category. We would recommend it over anything else out there for the same price.
