Ss far as Media Center PC's go in the mainstream computer market, the Gateway FMC-901X is a serious contender.


Highs: Clean system design, easy to use, powerful components

Lows: There is no room for expansion, can be loud while watching movies

Where to buy:

Summary

The FMC-901X is a great system for those wanting to try something new. Gateway was the first to incorporate a computer into the home theater with the introduction of their Destination series systems, and the FMC-901X shows how well this genre has evolved. The FMC-901X is a very powerful system capable of playing the best video games, editing home movies and watching television. The system design is clean and attractive and should look good in most home theater setups. Gateway can still improve upon the FMC-901X by adding quieter cooling, integrating WiFi and adding more internal expansion. But as far as Media Center PC's go in the mainstream computer market, the Gateway FMC-901X is a serious contender.

 

Update 5/11/04 - The 901X is not currently available on Gateway's website, so the price listed links to the lower end model. We have not received confirmation if the 901X will be re-introduced at a later date.
