Beat 'em at their own game. Seems like a good response.

I bought a Gateway quad core Athlon desktop from Woot about 1.5 years
back and I love it. It's an excellent machine. I know Gateway lost money
on it. $599 for a quad core, terabyte, 3G ram, Blue Ray, TV Tuner, etc.

I did buy a better video card for it than the one that came in it
because it had a Radeon and I prefer NVidia. So I put the Radeon in my
wifes desktop home brew machine and it runs great.
