I would probably aviod E-Machines, jsut my personal opinion. They like to offer really great deals, but skimp around on the hardware end. As for good solid machines, try Dell or Gateway. I cringe when I suggest Gateway, but it would be better than a HP or Compaq machine, which in my mind are closer to Emachines than Dell. All this of course is if you can't get a reputable, locally built computer in the area, I find they can build far more superior machines than any big computer company can.

If I was looking for a reputable local built shop what would I look for. I see a lot of gaming shops in the area...and they open and close overnight.
