Reviews of the Gateway SX2800-01

CNET Review
The Good: Sleek, compact design; best all-around performance among budget retail PCs; up-to-date motherboard outputs offer all kinds of connectivity options.
The Bad: Memory slot access takes a few more steps than usual.
The Bottom Line: Gateway's SX2800-01 offers a strong combination of performance and features all wrapped up in a design that fully embraces the merits of a slim tower PC. We recommend this system to anyone looking for a fast, affordable desktop for the home office, the living room, or anywhere in between.

Review Summary: The Gateway SX2800-01 represents a move by the company toward small form factor PCs. It's got the quad-core power that multimedia mavens crave, yet comes in at $500, far below the $700-1,000 that other quad core systems go for.
