Personally, I build my own. If I ever was to buy OEM again, and
considering that price was no object, I'd buy from Alienware. But
considering the OP is buying a eMachine for the price, I recommend Dell
or Gateway, because the USUALLY ship out real reinstall CD, not recovery
images, but I'd make sure to get them to comfirm that would be the case
when ordering. Window Shop on the internet, but purchase over the
phone.
