What do you think?
I don't think you can home build a beast like this cheaper.
It has great specs and reviews. Been looking for a new PC to replace my 12 yr old Gateway P2, that still runs great with XP Pro & Ubuntu Karmic Koala, and figured this one may last as long....
I just wonder if these new Gateway's are built as well as my old one.
It comes with a free upgrade to Win7. Don't know why W7 isn't preloaded yet?
