    Read somewhere ARIMA biulds the emachines M68XX lines how valid is this. Found this link and see simularities in the machines at least far as case design. Hinges appear to be same wonder if they got fracture problems also.........

    Yep, Arima makes M68XX AND Voodoo Envy M:860 machines. They're pretty much the same machine, except the Voodoo has a higher res LCD, the M11, a few cosmetic diff, and the Voodoo costs about $2k more!
    Here are pics of the Voodoo, compare it to the emachines and arima pics...

    I personally like the Emachines case better (still no cracks for me) because of the little icons below the touchpad vice just unidentified lights on the Voodoo...

    Some Gateway systems are now using the Pentium version of the same shell.
