Blazing Fast, Economy Gaming Rig

If you are looking for a powerful PC, but don't want to spend all that money on a Alienware or HP Blackbird, this is a great machine. I have owned mine for about a month now and I'm still impressed by how fast it is. It comes with Vista 64 OS, which I have had very little issues with. My only gripe is that it did not include a DVI > VGA adaptor, but instead came with a DVI > HDMI. So, I had to go to the store and get another DVI > HDMI adaptor and go that route, which in the end gives a superior image with a (expensive) HDMI cable. Even with that problem, I highly recommend it.

No luck

I purchased this computer. While I found it attractive to look at and it had the features I wanted, it was a nightmare attempting to set it up. First the promised adapter for DVI to VGA was not included and I had to go running around acquiring one. Then I attempted to connect to the internet via my cable modem and router. That would not work no matter what I tried. Even though the same connection works on an older gateway and one I purchased six months ago with Vista I could not get it connected with this machine. After several hours of working with Gateway they gave up saying it was the ISP's fault even though I started with the ISP first. Delays of over 30-40 minutes were routine on my calls. All I can say be prepared for a lousy experience if you have any trouble with this machine. I am certainly going to return mine.
