Consumer review (newegg.com)

Some good and bad

System is not for novice. There are 'new" systems out there now that are selling for 500-600$ range for Q6600 and 4GB of RAM. I will change the power suppply: I have added 2 SATA hard drives(1.2TB), 2 DVD-RW drive, and 8500 graphics, Bluetooth...

1) Fast processor ; 2) After bios update, and correcting the bios from incorrect default setting, the system has been stable ; 3) All drivers are available online, but not directly from the Gateway site (they do have most of them but under different...

1) Without bios update, the computer at times would freeze/BSOD. At first without the BIOD update, the fan speed would increase to its maximum and the RAM chips would heat up rapidly, until the system restarts... not a pretty sight ; 2) Cannot handle...

Its OK

Updating the BIOS went well with no problems. The computer would not even boot up with my wireless pci card installed. I had to go to a USB wireless device for LAN and internet. It also would not boot up with a PCI video card installed. I have not...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Excellent Deal

Received less than 48 hours after ordering, computer had clearly been repackaged but was flawless other than a single scratch on the keyboard.

About 8 or 9 craplets to clear out, some updates to download and good to go. Added a EVGA 8800GT dual slot card... it just barely fit. Solid performance out of the box, FEAR @ 1440x900 4xaa 16xaf, with everything maxed = 55 FPS at all stock speeds. WoW...

The motherboard in this unit is not overclocker friendly, so i docked the overall rating a star. I thought the case was a little cramped and the cabling is a little messy. I'm not looking forward to snaking another IDE cable past my huge videocard when...
