Sounds like a good way to make use of old eMachines, at a large discount too.

Finally, the year of the Linux Desktop! (eMachine edition)

    The most environmentally friendly computer is the one you already have. No power savings is so great as to offset the environmental cost of manufacturing of a new machine, shipping it to you, and the environmental impact of putting the existing machine into landfill. Run it into the ground until it either physically breaks or is literally no longer capable of performing the tasks you need. It’s not an environmental gain to upgrade JUST for power efficiency.
