(More customer reviews)I saw the previous review above....
>We bought a Gateway desktop and Windows got hosed for some reason. We called 1-800-GATEWAY for support. Guess what? If you buy a Gateway anywhere but their website you must call a separate toll number. WTF!?
Don't know about that...
>Then we needed to restore it but the restore partition was bad.
You are suppose to use the Recovery Tools to create you own Recovery Disks BEFORE you HOSE the PC....
>Had to get the recovery disk. They charged me $20 for a $1 CD-R. Then it wouldn't work,
??? Get another one... should be free now....
>and they wanted to charge me to tell me how to use it.
Uh.... put disk in PC... start it.... press ALT-F10 and then follow instructions...
>Again WTF? These people are horrible. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get a Mac. Get HP. Get an abacus. Anything but Gateway.
Ok.. my turn...
No problems at all with the PC. Works great. and.....
with this much disk space, I also dual-booted Vista-32 Ultimate on the PC (I installed an older IDE 500 gig drive and used it for the 32bit Windows). I did this to run the only external USB hardware that did not have a 32-bit driver.
The 64bit Vista SCREAMS!!! And you can't hear a sound from the SATA drive that comes with it!!
I bought a 19 inch Gateway flat panel at the same time, and it looks GREAT with the images on it.
The only negative... the 300W power supply. I will probably replace it down the road with a 500 watt one and upgrade the video for my Videos I produce....
Also, I did not ever see an indicator on the front of the PC blink when accessing the hard drive.... kinda missed that!
But for casual gaming and regular video/work.... what a STEAL!!!
I'd buy another one in a minute....
ps.... make the Recovery Disks FIRST after getting booted up the first time and store them away safely.... a lot cheaper to do than what the other reviewer suffered!!!
