Gateway FMC-901X Media Center PC Review Technology News, Electronics Buy Guide and Gadget Review DesignTechnica reviews Gateway FMC-901X Media Center PC -

Quote:
"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.
