SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- They're still not free, but they're getting closer.
A holiday price war among personal computer makers has pushed prices down by hundreds of dollars on machines robust enough to handle the latest PC games, video and software.
EMachines is promoting a system with a 1.7 gigahertz Intel Celeron processor and a 40 gigabyte hard drive for $399, no monitor or CD-burner included.
Other low-priced models are available from Dell Computer, Gateway and Hewlett-Packard -- none of which can risk staying on the sidelines.

I have bought from Circuit City before and was treated fine. The only problem I ran into was when something goes wrong they don't fix the machine. You have to take it to them and they ship it out to their repair center (which may or may not be near you) and you could be without it for quite a few days, if not weeks.

Wasn't it just two days ago that you put a contract out on Bill Gates? How 'bout a new Mac?
