Today, Gateway will roll out 3 new desktop models that are now on the forefront of technology. The FX, DX, and SX models will have additions to their already successful line, as well as new features that will again prove that Gateway is ahead of the pack and there to stay.
In brief, "The FX Series of affordable gaming PCs gets a redesign that includes a modernized chassis and new lighting accents. The DX line of multimedia PCs and SX small form factor PCs both now include eco-friendly 1TB drives and powerful Intel Core i5 and i3 Processors, respectively. In addition, the FX and DX now include models with Blu-ray drives."
On the new FX series, Steve Smith, Sr. Desktop Manager at Gateway was proud when saying; "When it comes to online entertainment, PC gaming and value, Gateway's FX Series can't be beat,"
There are two new FX series models out. Each are equally impressive as the other. The different configurations only show Gateways full commitment to gamers and techies alike.
The specs per Gateway include, but are in no way limited to;
Gateway® FX6831-03
• MSRP: $1,699.99
• Intel® Core i7¥ 860, 2.8GHz w/Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.46GHz
• ATI Radeon HD5850 w/1GB discrete video memory

With a minimum of 8gigs of ram and a whopping 1 5 TB hard drive, neither of these machines can be beat for strength, performance and storage. Additionally, on the FX6831-03 you will be able to watch the latest and greatest Blu-Ray movies.
The SX series of desktops is just as impressive with its features, including its < $600 price tag for a fully loaded computer.
Like the FX series, its feature set (provided by Gateway) includes, but is not limited to;

Lastly, is the addition to the DX series of multimedia workhorses. They included such changes of more convenient placement of the USB ports ot the inclusion of a Blu-ray disk to make this a great addition or upgrade to your current pc.
