e-Machines are powerhouses... when it comes to cutting corners. They use low quality components that don't deliver the true speed they advertise, and they break down quickly. Same is true of Gateway, actually, so it's only natural that they'd be the same thing now.
Note: This is from personal experience with lots of different people's commercially bought computers. Compaq, HP, Gateway, and e-Machines all suck hardcore. If you must have a PC, and you can't build it yourself/want the support, get a Dell. There are others that are good, too, but not for that price.
