The Pros:Excellent performance for the price (for a pre-built). Spacious casing and good component arrangements provides plenty of potential for future upgrades. Excellent selection of ports at the front.

#gateway_dx4831_01e This may not be considered a gaming computer, but turning it into one was not hard. I swapped out the 300 Watt PSU from the factory with a 450 Watt PSU and added an ATI Radion HD 4650 graphics card. This gave the system a 5.6 windows experience rating. It has no trouble running Modern Warfare 2 and Batman Arkham Asylum at high settings. The system has been very stable and has never crashed despite me pushing it to its limits.
