Customer Reviews : Gateway SX2800-07 Desktop

I did some thorough research and could not find an off-the-shelf method with this value and fit for a Home Theater PC. I am liking the HDMI interface and Gateway Desktop seems to play DVD movies well. I put in a Hauppauge PCIe 1/x QAM tuner (had a small bit of a configuration struggle, but that is not Gateway's issue) and with the system's huge hard drive, I now have a respectable DVR that receives and schedule records all of Comcasts QAM stations ( 100) without a cable box. Nice to have an eSATA port for storage expansion in the future.

The HDMI interface carries the audio with Gateway Desktop (some PCs only have video so you need to make use of a separate spdif cable), which plays nicely on my HDTV. I have the HDTV's digital audio connected to my five.1 sound method so I can rock a nice sound out of a dvd played on the method with the audio routed through the TV. The medium size (it is not a mini though), stunning, case fits well as a part in my home theater method and is calm.

Pro's Calm, HDMI w/audio, powerful, stunning.
