Gateway LX6810-01

 

At first glance, Gateway's LX6810-01 value PC seems to be an excellent choice priced at a reasonable $800 (as of 8/23/09). The system throws gaming to the curb, however, and while that won't matter to everybody, its failure to match the general...

Strong performance considering the price ; Easy-to-access hot-swap drive bays

Gaming performance suffers ; No next-generation device or display connections

4 Years and running

 

A great computer even to this day, I am looking at upgrading finally the CPU to an 8 core, and I just purchased the XFX black 7770 GPU. Ill know if it meshes well in 4 days when it gets here.

I have had this beast for 4 years now, purchased and have only had one problem, "in the cons". I play WoW, Black Ops1, Mw3, LoL, and D3. I have not replaced anything on this badboy and i still run movies and games at the same time pulling 30fps or more...

GPU had trouble overheating due to lack of case fans, added 2 fans 1 8mm and 1 12mm and no problems since

Bad Decision

 

Cheap components, $800 down a rathole.

The case is a nice piano black, so it looks nice. I had trouble with the pop up USB port gizmo not staying closed, but it started working again

The power supply caused some problems, so I replaced it. Now it Blue Screens about every 3 days, sometimes more often. I've taken out RAM and swapped it around, still core dumps. I am now going to replace the motherboard and put in a new CPU, buy...

This computer is defective

The Gateway LX6810 experiences random shutdowns because its fan is not able to keep it sufficiently cool. This is obviously a defect they must repair or give us a refund. We are filing a class action against gateway about this problem. If you would...

Almost the perfect desktop, but not quite

 

Almost the perfect desktop, but not quite

If all you want is Quad processors for a low price, buy this. If you think you are getting an all around super fast desktop (or gaming system) keep looking. There are over 220 different Quad Core variations now, ranging from "CPU Mark" of 10,181...

Good computer - Change video card to solve problems

A lot of folks have posted about issues with this computer all over the internet. I purchased one and encountered the same issues - freezing, "scrambled" visual display, and shutting itself off after running for more than 6-7 hours. I have done a lot...

Dissapointed...

I bought this computer in May 2009, it worked just fine before and was quiet and fast. I was able to play WoW and Sims 3 for hours on end with no problems. However, in March 2010 the machine began randomly turning off. I researched all over the net and...
