I have had some bad experiences with eMachines in the past. Windows Home would keep crashing on me and freezing in the middle of applications. Now it works fine.

In conclusion, I would go for one of the HP's.

What will you be using it for?

out of the three, i would feel most comfortable with the hp A430n. i've never personally owned or serviced an e-machines, there seem to be a number of posts here which say they are not very reliable.

[edit] what are the prices and config for each?
