Performed mods

Not much just upgraded the GPU and PSU. Tucked away the cables as much as I could without taking it apart Had a rounded IDE cable from my last puter to put in this one. This is a cheap replacement. My g/f bought this on clearance at Circuit City for $450 the card $59 and the PSU $20. Not bad Im really not into PC gaming except for UT2004.

Nice system... but 8/10 and 9/10? I wouldn't give it that high of a rating. Always got to leave a bit of room at the top for the next system.

Well, someone gave me a really crappy vote. But do you know what? What other people think usually is not important -- except for when they are telling you not to jump.

Thanks man!

Your hardware is good, Have you thought about buying a $20 case from newegg, you would have better airflow for you hard drive, because the case you have now, from gateway is design for your hard drive to overheat & fail.

just because its a replacement that doesnt mean u shouldnt do some modding on it. even a simple wire management would be nice 3/10 for now
