Customer reviews
Hugely under rated, High-end Gaming PC 
by .. Timothy ()
I didn't buy mine from Amazon as there are ways to save about 160 dollars elsewhere, however I did have to come here and spread the news that this PC is excellent! For the price and specs you hardly can complain. It booted up fine with no problems. Its fast and very quiet, even when gaming and overclocking. In fact its so quiet that you may not even realize its on if your monitor is turned off. Seriously my external Western Digital MyBook makes more noise than the PC! -- The DVD-ROM drive is loud however especially when ripping CDs.
Heres are some facts
The Mainboard is branded as Gateway H57M01, I can't find any info on it though. But you'll have 1 x4 PCI-E and 1 X1 PCI-E slot availible. The pictures at Newegg are misleading. The CPU multiplier is not accessible.
The Ram used is branded Samsung.
There are 6 red lights that glow around the case. And you do have the option to turn them off by turning the power button instead of pressing it.
The included ATI HD5850 can be overclocked from 725mhz to 950mhz, and the voltage can also be adjusted.(using third party software, the ATI Catalyst only lets you go to 775mhz)
Does not come with speakers as seen in most pictures. But does include USB Keyboard and Mouse.
The cord for the keyboard was too short to reach the PC below my desk. I had to use a USB extension cable. The mouse cord is longer and reached just fine.
There are no software or backup discs included, everything is loaded on the hard drive, includeing a 17GB restore partition
And just a small nitpick, they could have included a mouse pad.
Excellent PC by .. Anthony A. Ratliff (Michigan)
This one replaces my 6 year old Dell. As others have said, this computer is very quiet. That's a big plus.
I also like the way it is designed. The front USB, photo card slots and headphone/mic jacks are on top and slanted up. This makes for easy access.
I was worried because I at first thought it didn't support XD photo cards because Amazon doesn't mention it, but it does.
Performance, speed wise, is top notch.
You won't be disappointed with this machine.
Best Desktop I've Ever Owned by .. Steve Frankee (Virginia)
I never write reviews. Too lazy. But I absolutely had to come in and rave about this desktop. It's the quietest computer I've ever owned. The front part of the tower where you can slide the panel down and install internal hard drives without any wires? Dream come true. And even the "back up" button is amazing...you press the button (next to the power button) and it automatically backs up whichever folders (My Pictures, for example) you identify onto whichever hard drive (internal, external, etc) you wish. Absolutely amazing machine. Worth every penny.
Excellent! by .. J. P. Barton ()
I am using this wonderful PC to write this review! Let me just say this is by far the best computer I have ever owned! It runs every single thing I can through at it and it runs near 100% quietly! I have absolutely no regret from buying this PC! The price is right and so is the computer! Do your self a favor and buy this grade A product today! You will not be disappointed when you see this machine can easily run Crysis on all very high settings... And if you're a PC gamer you know how freakin awesome that is!!!! A+
Too good not to try by .. G. David (CT,USA)
Extremely quiet operation,easy to set up not to much crapware,removed norton.1.5 tb seagate fast,trouble free firmware.Very pleased,been running it for 3 days now,zero problems.Added 3 more hard drives,one internal and 2 through the front cage behind the sliding door,love it.The other 2 e-sata ports are great, recognizing 5 bay external SATA drive enclosure,so you can have a total of 14 hard drives hooked up to this pc,if you are willing to get 2 Rosewill RSv-s5/sansdigital.Included with the pc comes an cross wire adapter,i guess for adding an other videocard,have no clue how would you do that since there is no space on the motherboard.Have to contact Gateway about that............good luck with tech support and warranty.In conclusion this is a great buy if you're willing to deal with Gateway.
