The $400 price delta is not what you imagine (it's closer to $200)... nor is the machine necessarily inferior for the home user tasks it will perform... The cost delta is partially an illusion predicated on configuration slight of hand. There are thousands of components that make up a PC, not just CPU, memory, HD etc. There are many, many places to shave costs... like using resistors with 5% tolerance as opposed to 1%. How extensively are eMachines tested compared to Dell? Use cheaper components that the consumer can't see or compare like plastics, connectors, glue logic, MB layer count... reduce test permutations, reduce support, and settle for thinner margins and presto, you have a lower cost offering.
