Neil:

I know that Gateway has really gone down in the eyes of its users over the years but they just came out with a new series they sell at retail stores. It is the model GM 5664. I just picked up a couple of these.

They include the new AMD Phenom Quad Core CPU, with 3G of 667MHz dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM, 1 Terabyte of storage (2 500G 7200 SATA drives) and a Blu-ray/HD DVD combo drive. The OS is Windows Vista Home Premium. The video is an ATI Radeon™ HD 2400XT with 256MB.

I have one set up in my bedroom and I am going to set the other up in my HT so I can stream the content between the two.

The best part is that a complete system including a 19 inch monitor and Canon printer goes for $1249. The PC by itself is only $1099.
