 Almost the perfect desktop, but not quite July 10, 2010
D. Rhodes (Marietta, GA USA)
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 ($8,000) to 1,704 ($500). This model is rated at 3,257 by PassMark software. Windows Experience Index (Windows performance rating) is 5.4. This is fairly good, and the graphics card can also record TV/video. If you upgrade to a really powerful graphics card, you DO have enough in the power supply. PROS: Quiet, cool-running 2.33GHz Quad processor. 8GB RAM, but it does not run at the full speed of the bus. Lots of media ports. Externally available SATA drive bays (unusual for this type of desktop). Very expandable overall. Upgradeable to Windows 7 (not free). CONS: Harddrive speed and size is only average. Harddrives run warm. Very cheap DVD drive (mine broke within a week). This is a great system for someone who knows how to tweak Windows to get the best balance of speed and function. The outside is all plastic, but the inside is well built and all well designed metal. I especially liked the pop-up media ports and the externally available plug and play harddrive ports.
Good computer - Change video card to solve problems May 14, 2010
Tom P
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 of diagnosis on the problem, and found that upgrading to the latest build of NVidia drivers for the GT120 helped some (April release), but not completely. I swapped out the video card for another (an older ATI x1950 PCI-E) and it works great, no lock ups, no nothing.
I got a great deal on this as a refurb, so even though I had to swap the card, it was still a great deal. If you are reading this and planned on a better video card anyway, check the specs on the x1950 and see if they are similar to the card you are planning on and go for it.
Three stars because I did have to replace the video.
 Dissapointed... April 22, 2010

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 many people have the same problem. They stated there was a heat issue because there are no case fans. Who the hell builds a computer without exhaust fans. Anyhoo, I wasn't that confident in my skill to add the fans so I took it to the "nerd squad" who tried to tell me that it was a power supply issue. The rep stated that the case is built to properly ventilate itself, there's no way the computer is getting that hot. Blah, blah, blah. He suggested I check the power cords and outlets, so I take it back home because the computer did not cut off at the store. Of course when I got home it cut off like three times. So I went back and bought the 80mm and 120mm fans installed them myself and the computer has not turned off since. I won't be using Gateway again. This experience was unacceptable. I also had an acer laptop that turned off randomly too. So buyer beware.
defective product March 25, 2010
Dina Di Maio (New York, NY)
I bought this Gateway model in June 2009. I primarily use my computer for Internet and word processing. After a month, it shut off abruptly. I didn't think anything of it until it did it again a few weeks later. In about October, it shut off within a minute of being turned on and kept shutting off to the point where it was unusable. I brought it to the Geek Squad at Best Buy because I have it under a three-year warranty. They "fixed" it, and within a few months, it started shutting off randomly again within a minute or two of being turned on. Best Buy "fixed" it again, this time replacing the hard drive. Within a few days, it shut off and this time, wouldn't turn on again at all. Best Buy currently has it for servicing. Each time I brought the computer in to Best Buy, I told the service technician that I had read online that many people had the same problem and that it was a defective product. Each time, the technician acted like he had never heard of this before. Finally, I talked to the customer service manager and the manager of the store, who didn't offer me any solution. If you want to throw $1500 away, then buy this machine.
Piece of Junk March 22, 2010
Donna L. Grube
I bought this computer back in June 2009 it worked great for three months (if I would have first wrote this review I would have said it was a great computer) This computer truly is a piece of junk it continues to shut itself off now every 2 minutes.....Don't waste your money. I would not have if there were reviews on this computer when I first looked at computers as far as buying a decent computer for for a decent price. My reason for buying this computer was for my kids for school. I regret buying/wasting my money on this computer.
