now, that's cheap!
That's disgusting.
It uses a Q8300 processor ::barf::
Since it's Gateway, the mobo is a system board ::double barf::
The video is integrated GMA X4500 (and from a Gateway system board nonetheless) ::triple barf::

Jesus Christ, I wouldn't even take that computer if it was FREE!!!!! Plus, it's sickeningly overpriced. You could build that same thing for like $400 on newegg/tigerdirect.

No wonder people think Apple is expensive. So clueless when it comes to computer hardware. Gateway and Dell are not the "standard" of computers. They use the absolute worst possible garbage hardware you can find.
