I'm looking at finally replacing my last millenium well '98 desktop compy.  And I saw this on Tiger Direct.  Should I?  will eliminate the need for a Tivo plus I can burn DVDs of everything.  Plus I can make this the entire brains mmmm branes mmmmm, of our household.  I've only found positive reviews so far by googling.  What think y'alls?

I would never willingly recommend any computer from Gateway, especially a desktop.

Still, that's a good price, and you're probably not going to be using it in the same way as I would.

You could probably find worse deals out there.

Just the dvd burner dvd rom burner 250G HD and using it as a TIVO makes it sound worth it.

I've been shopping around and that's a kick ass price.
