Mike,

A heads up...stay away from the eMac.  I bought one a little over four
months ago, and it's a piece of junk.  The monitor emits a high pitched
squeal that feels like it is pushing an ice pick through your temples. 
Their support is crap.  No phone support after 90 days, and I have to take
it to CompUSA for servicing (woohoo).

Buyer Beware.
