    3 out of 5 stars Great computer if you recieved it for free, and modify it........2004-11-08

    This GX1 is what I have, and modified. I had this machine for over one year. I have recieved it from a friend, which was upgrading to newer workstations in his business.

    Even though this machine is dinosaur, it does quite fine on video, but cannot run Premiere Pro due to machine limitations (duh). Managed to play various games (GTA 3, GTA: Vice City), with a recent video card (ATI 9200-generic, 128MB, Video out, DVI, PCI). Did use an ATI All-in-Wonder VE (PCI, 32MB, MPEG Encode/Decode), and managed to put FireWire (IEEE 1394) card to run mainly video capture. And put in a generic 56kbps telephone modem. Some variants have AGP, and more PCI slots. This machine is on the borerline of DVD recording capability (takes a year and four days! exaggerating), though it's ridiculous and very excessive, I just use the recorder for storage purposes (LiteON, 4x DVD+/-R/RW).

    Compared to today's Dell machines, the late '90s models have been fairly reliable, and easy to modify (no jumpers to set). This was a model made in the company's better days.

    My model does not have the branded monitor, but is using an IDEK Iiyama 17" BNC/VGA monitor (1992), very "old school".

    This machine is given three (3) stars strictly by design. Performance ratings would be much less, like half of a star or a negative (impossible). The case is easy to open, but is not easy to work with cabling. The expansion card (PCI x3) is easy to remove from the main board, by using a beige plastic lever. Custom computers surpass this convenience with slide-out trays, but for a mainstream manufacturer in 1998, it's quite nice for free!
