I'm personally partial to HP's but that really is just me. Dell's are hit and miss. Never get a Dell laptop though. They are a PAIN. eMachines do have issues but Acer tends to be a hit and miss type company too.
This computer looked pretty good. It's an off-lease, refurbished HP for about $180. It has XP as an operating system and it has more than enough USB ports.
It looks like they have the same model on Overstock for about $10 more. I'm not sure what the shipping would be on Tigerdirct but I'd just go with whatever one would be cheaper.
