    CNET Review

    The Good: Inexpensive; space-saving chassis.

    The Bad: Low-quality components produce poor performance scores; cramped interior with few expansion options.

    The Bottom Line: Although the eMachines EL1200-05w's price tag is tempting, an extra $100 will land you a competitive desktop that can handle a wider variety of applications and even leaves room for future expansion opportunities.
