Gateway's 700GR desktop PC stays cool with BTX
We hinted that this was on the way just last week, now Gateway's 700GR officially becomes the first PC to use Intel's new BTX (which stands for Balanced Technology Extended) advanced cooling system which makes it easier and more efficient to keep your PC from overheating by blowing air over horizontally aligned memory chips and upturned expansion boards, then over the chipset and CPU. In case you're thinking of picking it up, the rest of the specs on the 700GR are pretty decent: a 250GB hard drive, up to 2GB of RAM, a Pentium 4 550 processor, a dual-layer, a 128MB ATI Radeon X300SE graphics card, and an 8X DVD+/-RW drive.

got one. like it. my old dell was 1.7 and had only 384 mb. this one is much faster and has 1gb of ddr. the video card is very fast and cutting a dvd is now megatimes faster. removed home edition and installed xp/pro - although probably made no difference. nice box for the money. inside is very easy to get at and has 3 spare sata bays. has 4 memory slots (two populated on purchase). I like it.
