Beware of eMachines, though. They use cheep componates that could mess up the whole computer.

Case in point: This guy I know had an eMachines (this was a 3 year old computer, but this occured about a week or so ago), that for some reason wouldn't start. He took it to Geek Squad (at Best Buy) and they said that the power supply, motherboard, ram, the disk drives, the hard drive, and the processor were all fried, probably becuase of a power surge. He gave the computer to me and I found that only the power supply and parts of the motherboard were fired. After doing some research, I figured out that it was proabably a brownout, where the voltage dropped and the current went up. A good power supply would cut off, but a bad one, like this, would let some of the current through to the motherboard, only partially frying it.

But this wasn't his first eMachines that broke. So, therefore I say "do not be tempted by the price of an eMachine." You get what you pay for and you will end up paying more for it.

More on the topic of Inventor, it will probably work, like the other people said, but, keep in mind, eMachines are ment to be light load computers. Internet, email, Solitare. Not 3D parametric Modeling.
