Gateway FX541XT Extreme Desktop Gaming PC

[TheChernandez2020]

holy shit

[Airking11]

ps3 is better, pc's don't even have many games being made for it anymore so it's a waste of 1200+ dollars

[misterabuse]

@Airking11 ure very biased and wrong dumbass :P theyre a helluva lot more games fr the pc even now... plus u just buy em online instead of going to the stores to get a hard copy... so smd and all the other pc gamers :)

[SteelCity1981]

yeah what he doesn't tell you is this pc is BTX! So you are fucked if you want to upgrade the motherboard.

[machielste1]

they need some tesla in quad sli

[Zhu8]

Everything about this PC is true, except for the Sucking in air thing, I own its little brother, the FX541S and I wouldn't say it Sucks air in, but it does bring in a lot of air with its 140mm fan.

[Zhu8]

@oear56 Oh Really??? So you can't Overclock Voodoos, Blackbirds Alienwares, or Dell XPS'? I can overclock the little brother of this, the FX541s Q6600 to 2.6 on stock cooler, most people get a lot higher, but I'm just a overclocking noob. I also overclocked to 8600GT, I wanted more power, got a GTS 250 and overclocked that, and then got another one in SLI, and Barely overclocked that.

[musa0217]

[0sebastiank0]

lol thats not even high end

[Ch3sterB]

It was posted a year ago geius.

[MeinDummkopf]

I just bought my parts from planmypc(.)com, saved loads on amazing parts! I cant friggin wait to put this thing together!

[boogieman221thx]

very very highend... ROFL

thats midrace but not highend

[GF8800gtx9999]

the cpu is good....all other is crap :)

[xXSinsearXx]

@ stabbymcdiedie: almost everything in this computer is outdated currently. The graphics cards, while not bad in SLI, can be easily beaten by a GTX 260 (and you can get a GTX 260 for like $190 these days). The processor is not only easily beaten by the montevina refresh (QX9650 or QX9770), it is absolutely demolished by core i7 (even the base end model). Memory on this pc is 4 gigs of DDR2, "cutting edge" now is defined by as 12 gigs of DDR3 @ 1800. So this computer sucks by today's standards.

[xXSinsearXx]

This is not even mentioning the hard drives. Velociraptors, or better still, X-25's will crush the hard drives in this pc. In addition, the case is poorly designed, not allowing for future expansion (look at Antec 1200 for a good case) and the motherboard is medium end (790i FTW edition by EVGA is like top end for LGA775, Core i7 uses Socket 1366: currently the best LGA1366 mobo is by Asus, under the republic of gamers line, called the Rampage II Extreme, and it costs about $400).

[stabbymcdiedie]

So, is this the computer the fastest and best in the world or what is?

[xXSinsearXx]

Is that a serious question?

[stabbymcdiedie]

yes it is.

[jeremy193]

No... Not near it.

[IKDpRoDuCtIoNs]

this makes me regret gettin a laptop coz they are WAY ,ore upgradable =(

[gunitloordz]

MY GOD!

[moosephat]

my old pc ran as fast as this

it used to run at 68 degrees at 3gz.

its broken now.

[AxLstyle]

i get 5.9 on memory from a crucial 1066mhz running at 800mhz.....a CRUCIAL!!! btw, never buy them

[talldude123]

Wow, my computer is worse than that, and yet still gets a better score of 6.3...

[xXSinsearXx]

5.9 is max.... way to fail....

[Charles2337]

He talks too fast.

But that computer is bad ass.

[hihi128]

vista 32 and 4 gig memory,vista 32 not support 4 gig,just vista 64 can handle this.....

[nierdlord]

If you dont have so much money, dont buy it!! Because this computer is the most expensive desktop pc they have right now.

[Yashie102]

Your not so hot in crysis lol.

[nierdlord]

Ohh??? HD DVD drive, why? HD DVD is no longer available.

[TheftOfChocolate]

Just a precaution.

[static829]

Build your own... quadruple your power, and spend about half.

[Squirrelsteam]

that guy talks way too fast, but he acts like that computer is super awesome, the fastest ever made. I believe alienware, dell, and hp make computers much faster than that.

[Johnny03]

ohhhh soo it only reads 3.25 gigs or less of that 4 gigs of ram you have (because it is 32 bit)..... loser... why dont you try vista ultimate 64 bit.. or windows xp x64bit... it reads more than 4 gigs of RAM and it is twice the speed.... gg

[acccrew01]

Shit vista score.. My score is almost the same and I bought my pc 12 months ago costing $2.500 and havent changed anything in it since.. I could rebuild it exactly the same today for around $1600

[Krazyisthebest]

OMGGGG

WDF

HOW MUCH IS THAT SHIT WORTH....

WHY DA FUCK WOULD U NEED 1.5TB

2 512 mb graphics FUCK

I BET THAT SHIT IS WORTH OVER 4,000

[kanwarjyot]

I WILL BUY IT

[salivaharderock]

OMFG i will buy 1 O.O

[coopo95]

wowoowowowowo incredible???

[LETHLSS]

sure

[DarkRazorBeast]

aaaaa.... two 750 gb hard drives how cool is that?

[stefancrni90]

How much is that cost ?

[igob8a]

4GB RAM + 1GB Video RAM + 32bit OS = FAIL

Only 3GB of system RAM will be used.

[Cough7007]

Not even 3GB... you forgot the sound card.

[mauleriscool]

I have a gateway gaming pc...it has the same btx cooling as this and it sucks. E6400 Cpu default clocked running 65C and 8800gt running over 80C.

[peacekid]

8800 GT in SLI is kinda lame.

[Zhu8]

@peacekid Well, It was very good back in 07.

[Durken316]

holy fuck 6 gigs of ram 0.0

[cril1001001]

Lol...friends don't let friends run at their computers at factory frequencies

[HellGuard99]

Holy shit guys. Just 1 day after the video was posted and this computer isn't even available on the site anymore.

[SmekarNGuitar]

whatsa fucking case is that for such a comp

[w0z020]

I put a system together on newegg for 2715$ and the specs: cooler master cosmos case,asus striker II 790i motherboard, intel Q9550,4gb corsair 1600mhz DDR3 ram,3 XFX 9800GTX black edition video cards,1000 watt OCZ power supply, one WD raptor 150gb 10K/rpm, one samsung 750gb 7200/rpm hard drive for storage. LOOK WHAT YOU GET FOR 2700$ you're insane if you buy that overpriced gateway

[Foxontherun2]

To expensive, plus its a gateway

[cardboardsnail]

Terrible for the price `_`

[Zhu8]

@cardboardsnail This was made back in late 2007

[cardboardsnail]

@Zhu8

My opinion still stands.

You should also take note of my comment date.

[0dxd0]

damn this thing in 2700 bucks....shit for that money i can go for the 790i 2 gtx280 800 watt power supply 4 gigs of ddr3 ram n core2extream proseser lolz

[wildwolves8]

this is monster compare to the "high end" computer that i seen on the computers stores.

[Mobsta21]

They used a ECS board. look closely its a ECS board which sucks. LOL I excpect way more. I rather have a Q9450 w/ a 750i than a 680i w/ a Gwx6850 this comp isnt that great. It is basically a waste of money because it has old technology. ECS SUCKS!

[trekerboy]

I agree that ECS sucks, I'm using a ECS board right now... my PC is slow as hell

[Mobsta21]

LOL that comp sucks. a 680i and a qx6850 and 8800gt are SO OLD. LOL i have a 680i and my comp is 1 year and 1/2 old. I excpect better from gateway. At least 750i.

[Spartan2552]

The components may be relatively old, but that in no way means it sucks. That PC is probably one of the most beastly factory PC's I have ever seen. Any coming from Gateway? They deserve some credit.

[A32123A]

sata 3?

[HatelessPerson67]

is higher fps bad or good?

[MajorDisaster4u]

higher basically is better.

[Lachsi]

lolololol

[SmekarNGuitar]

lololoooooooooooooool

[wildleg]

bad build, 4gigs 2 512video cards, your looking at 2gigs of ram.

now if this was 64 this wouldn't be a terrible thing to buy but since its 32 it surely is.

[RockAlekz]

Impressive...:D

[kevaughanshiu]

"IT CAN PLAY CRYSIS ON MAX!"

LMAO!

[ivefantrance]

Now that's boring... they want to rid of their overstocked 8800GT =.=, 8800GT is fine, but it's so yesterday now...

[aznlilhero]

i don't really like gateways. some tell me what's so good about them compare with other computers?

[steamburn123]

everytime when i buy a computer or laptop, new computer comes out... that's really sucks...

[lexserr]

thats why you wait to get the one you really want. not just a "budget" computer

[Alexsj80]

Not to be so rude but why the hell did they pick does keyboards the logitech wave it has so much better comfort or if you want gaming A4tech. Yes, no razer or g15. A4tech latest keyboard is the way. It has the best hotkeys layout I ever seen

[Alexsj80]

Why why why 2 8800gt it gets like 10-15% higher fps then HD4870 and that is a single card they could have put 2 of does or 2 HD4850.

I´ll bet they soon do a computer with 2 260gtx when 2 HD4870 gets better results in every game -.- but they will still use it because they will earn more money on it so you can´t blame >P

Btw why do you always hear about SLI I mean crossfirex scale much better but then again CS geeks = sli = more money

Hardware enthusiast = Crossfire = Performance

[Altec0Lansing]

CS geeks? explain y nvidia graphics cards were the first to get 80 plus fps on crysis in sli. their r barely any videos of ATI benchmarkin crysis on very high, u know y? cuz ATI fan boys r afraid of ppl seeing their 20-25 fps benchmarks in crysis.

[brillman]

lol its not cause ati are mad lol its because crysis is optomised for nvidia cards and not crossfire

[Alexsj80]

Amen,

Crysis is Nvidias little bitch

[0xXCSSXx0]

WTF!? THIS ITEM IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

yep thay had 1 in stock i think...

[scoresomegore3]

sexy.... i would tap that... not the guy but the pc....

[nutsbuttkicker]

the Vista score system is broken, highest possible score is 5.9

[grillan79]

true, i have a q6600 and i got the same score when stock and when at 3.6ghz

[brendanspurious666]

my gigabuyte triton back is better than dis 1 but da feature of this 1 is awsome...

[gester27]

how much is that????

[shmuelibell]

I LOVE ALBERT

Keep It Up

[wizkid2000]

whats the point of show a computer your no longer selling??

[Poco1997]

It's about time Gateway had a gameing computer

[kapowwebuyer]

32bit!!!! that sucks!! 32bit only reconizes 3.2gb of ram!!! they should know that!! other then that.. looks good!

[LolChickenPie]

It's 4gb of total shared memory, not 3.2

[kapowwebuyer]

i benched it!! it was 3.2 on my mobo!!!

[LolChickenPie]

That means you have 800mb of other memory on your computer (video cards, cache, etc.)

[kapowwebuyer]

i dont get it mac! what do u mean

[Wigwahm]

I don't like the case either. I would rip out everything and put the parts into an Antec or a CoolerMaster case. The cabling is pretty nice. I would still want to build my own though.

[Vitrisek]

as always you can put some stool on a platter and he will say how great it is.....good seling

[shubhamranjan]

it looks bad

[123italiano321]

sli sux then buy a video card twice the price

[mynameisrob123]

my one 8800gt gets the score 5.9 so why does the 8800gt in sli get 5.9 in this machine

[vaio239]

5.9 IS THE MAX score for vista

[SaultyevilandJetson]

The max score you can get is 5.9..

[redalert139]

ehhh.....

[slavonic129]

whoa this system is insane!!!

[patrickdeke1]

That case is fuckn wack

[Jon3sySk8er]

Tht case is weird :S:S

u normal open the case on the lefted side

E.G the graphics cards are upside down... lol O_o

haha itz kl because normaly u can't see the sexi side of the graphic cards but on this case u can :O:O!

:D:D:D:D:D

[Scotty678966]

gatway does not suck eny more

[Hekynn]

God Damn that is insane I dont overclock at all but still mine is better with the wire managment from Cyberpowerpc.

[betokillsall]

wtf this is a $3,500 comp and it doesn't even get 5.9 rating mine cost $1,500 and it gets 5.9 on everything

[animan987]

it got 5.9 on everything but one. besides my pc only has one tiny air flow and 2,4 ghz so when i spen my 8-10 hrs watch ing anime and dowloadin and gaming. my pc runs hard. 1.5 terabytes. would have been better if it was 64 bit but oh well. a must have.

[xxxxDragon2xxxx]

this is very goooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XxDefyancexX]

2 8800GT... you can build one so much cheaper with like 2 4870 and other shit and pwn this piece of shit. Overpriced..

[urlame101]

crossfire boards suck dick

[whitefoxx52]

more like 1500

[hentajus]

nice benchmarks ... NOT

[zenniz1992]

Their stupid case cost the same as the CM cosmos.

[SilentAce901]

my comp is better and it cost 2300

[Heartagramerz]

I hate gateway desktops...

The case stinks and I'm sure it will go hot pretty quick...

Not worth buying...

[mad1kas]

i get 5.9 at Vista and i paid 1300 for my pc

vista 32bit uses only 3.2 GB of RAM so the 4GB are useless

[Pinoyako11705]

Actually, the guys at Windows promised that although it only RECOGNIZES 3.2GB of RAM, the etc. RAM is still in use.

[jrodwwe94]

Wow he sux at Crysis

anyway, i could build it for way less

[manen6]

you can't use 4GB of RAM (the max is i think 3GB) in the 32Bit version of Vista..

[tsukasa06]

you can use 6gb of ram on 32bit vista

[crocz]

wrong, only 4gb minus PCI adress space and the videocard memory. So usually it's like 3 gigs :p

[jasa00]

nah its 4 but it depends on your video card for vista kernal and prefetching

[Mrcabe]

Thats so fucking old parts.

[G33kinator]

$3,500

for that!!!! my pc was under that had pwns that.

[yorki1111]

holy sh*t

[ooberpwnage]

You're really bad at Crysis, Albert.

:P

[enyceckk101]

if Gateway make the side panel see through , then maybe i will buy it.

[ooberpwnage]

Wow...........................­..............

[bondi007]

[LoCoBoi187]

OEM shit.

[lendrahcir]

Great review Albert. Nice machine, but I personally would rather build my own.

[dorbie]

[ivanyoulube]

[rossc12345]
