If you buy another eMachine there's a good chance you should be able to swap HD's - however... you're going to need to see what kind of bus your current and future HD's will be running on. IDE? SATA? Also if you're running xp, I'm not sure how OEM versions run but it may very well "lock" your xp when it detects a significant hardware change.
In response to your desktop I would say try another power supply first, and it that doesn't work, start taking peripherals out 1 by 1 that aren't necessary (video card if you have onboard graphics etc) If you still have this problem with ONLY a keyboard, mouse and monitor plugged in I would say you have a bad motherboard
