i think its a bette buy. as for the tv tuner, i am not sure but since gateway owns emachines, and i have an 820gm, its an Aver media or Aver tech something.
there is nothing wrong with hp either. either way you go, you will have a good pc.

Ive done much research on both. I am leaning towards emachines because of the built in tuner...can anyone tell me what brand it is and the quality? If its total garbage I can get the hp. Also is there the ability to add another dvd drive if you choose in the emachines? I am concerned over emachines qulaity vs hp....any feedback would be appreciated.
