i actually used to work in one of the refurbishment factories in the summers in high school and college (my dad is in management at one of the taiwanese oems that build/built their systems).
most of them (the home lines anyway) are the same chassis. most are assembled and built by ECS or asus at this point. before there were a few other companies involved such as tatung and trigem korea (they were emachines before emachines bought gateway and it got all confusing). tatung sold its pc manufacturing business to ecs.
anyways, that said its all the same.
