If you look inside of any Dell, Gateway, HP, Sony, eMachines, what do you see? Parts made in China, Malaysia, Mexico and many are also assembled all over the world. If support is a big issue, go with the big boys. HP/Compaq are about as impossible to upgrade as you can get, everything is proprietary.
On my brother in law's eMachine, I added a second DVD (burner), AGP 8X video card, 2nd hard drive (160GB), a wireless network card (D-Link), that was about 8 months ago. Not a problem I've heard so far..
