Introduction Compact

Article in Street.com today that Credit Suisse First Boston is going to lead the public offering of eMachines, and it's expected to be one of the hottest IPOs of the summer.

eMachines has sold almost 1 million PCs since it began shipping boxes in November, and it is now the No. 4 PC retailer in the U.S. They sell what looks like good boxes, some for around $399.

Here's their website:

Does anyone have any opinions on this IPO? Can this be the next 10 bagger plus like Dell?
