I was thinking of this

and add a gig of ram

also i will be getting a docking station for my laptop hard drive, and a wireless card. I have a monitor, external hd, laptop hd of course, power supply, case (old crappy one), maybe a could cd rom drives (they might read dvd have to look), keyboards, mice, etc. I looked around and dont think I could really build one cheaper.

Or would it be better to buy one of these and add ram?

No! No eMachines! Build your own for much, much cheaper.

Ill throw a list together for ya, and you can buy and build yourself. Might be a tad more, but will run circles around that one you have up there. Or just buy my MSI Wind. It is probably even faster than that one you listed.

if you decide to build one, newegg is offering 10% cashback. just go to bing and type in newegg and it will be the top sponsored link. i know i might sound like a salesman, but you might as well take advantage of it while it's available.

I guess I should say I dont game, I dont need a super duty graphics card or sound card. Doesnt need to have a huge hd, i have a 650 gig external i store movies and music on. I surf the internet, stream, download, watch movies, thats about it. My laptop is 1.6g processor with 2 gig of ram, that was plenty fast enough for me, even though faster wouldnt hurt. I would like it to have a dvd drive and multi card reader. Bunch of usb, thats about it. I just want it cheap and fast enough. Dont need a super computer. The first one I posted was $330 shipped to my door. I want it cheaper thaan that if I can.

This is a place my buddy works at. They offer off lease computers and they usually come with COA's.

You could get a cheap P4 for around 100-150bucks and then throw xp on it and be set.
