THE GOOD
Strong, Vista-capable core configuration; room for upgrades; lots of customization options not commonly associated with a midrange desktop.

THE BAD
No HD disk player option, which you can find from the competition.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Gateway's midrange DX420X is a strong midrange desktop that's primed for smooth Windows Vista performance. You can configure this system with some uncommonly high-end parts, but the one feature it's missing is an option for HD DVD or Blu-ray. If you can live without an HD disk player, we recommend this Gateway, especially if you're looking for some extra performance.
