Don't Buy Gateway
I purchased a Gateway FX580, a similar high-powered gaming system 2 this & had problems from day one. I had purchased the extended warranty with at-home service. First they replaced the 500 Gb harddrive, but the problems continued. So then they replaced the motherboard, & the problems continue. So I had 2 send it in 4 "repair" at my own expense. I had vacation coming up & they told me that it would take 3-5 business days 4 repair, so I sent it overnight. It got there on Thursday, but they didn't start work on it until the following Monday. Then they tell me it will be 7-10 business days 4 repair (thanks 4 lying 2 me 2 begin with). I ask that they not ship it back 2 me until after the July 4th holiday, explaining that I will not be home. What do they do, they send it so it arrives while I'm away. The shipping company tries several times, but I'm not home. When I get back, I find they obviously don't know how 2 follow a simple direction, & now I have 2 go 2 the shipper 2 pick it up, on my own dime.

Between the poor communication 2 the customer & their inability 2 follow a simple direction I would not buy from Gateway again. In the meantime, I'm stuck. I just hope they really repaired it.

Read the warranty. You are responsible 4 shipping it 2 them 4 repair, as if we have 2 pay 4 their blunders. Not a smart company if you ask me.

Gateway does not stand behind their products.
We bought a Gateway desktop & Windows got hosed 4 some reason. We called 1-800-GATEWAY 4 support. Guess what? If you buy a Gateway anywhere but their website you must call a separate toll number. WTF!? Then we needed 2 restore it but the restore partition was bad. Had 2 get the recovery disk. They charged me $20 4 a $1 CD-R. Then it wouldn't work, & they wanted 2 charge me 2 tell me how 2 use it. Again WTF? These people are horrible. Save yourself a lot of trouble & get a Mac. Anything but Gateway.
