Acer VS. eMachines

these are both cheap brand and affordable. cheap in quality components and affordable in price.

I experienced a 2005 eMachines T series and i wasnt satisfied.
- loud hard drive
- hard drive has only 2mb cache.. notice slowness
- cheap stock bestec psu that fried
- overall super loud machine

I experienced an (assuming 2008) Acer Aspire M5100 and it was ok (so far)
- super quiet machine!
- usb and headphone plugs on top of tower for easyness
- cool black case with neon blue lights
- uses pc2-5300 which kindda cheap
- one hard drive 320gb space split in 2 drive which kindda suck
- system reads 767mb at first.. had to replug to read 1gb
- hard drive has 8mb cache which is not bad

all in all.... i do not know which of these cheap brand is better yet. but as of now i really think Acer is better due to the fact that its very quiet and has 8mb cache hdd... but the Acer I experience is a 2008 which is newer than the 2005 emachines so it wouldnt be fair.

What country is Acer company from?

let me set myself straight, ive never even owned an Acer. ive owned an emachines and it was effin depressing. we bought it only because it was lon ly like $200. we bought it plus 4 yrs ago. now i think it isunder different management( gateway???) and the comps are looking alot sleeker and they seem to be alot better.

Gateway bought eMachines a few years ago, then Acer bought the combined company within the past year or so.
