Though I have been buying Gateways for my University and have been quite pleased
with them, I recently bought four Cybermax machines and like them better.  They
are cheaper and use excellent parts.  What's more, when I didn't like the
resolution on one of the monitors, they airshiped me a new one, and paid to ship
the old one back.  I bought four and have been very pleased.  I like the Gateway
Vivitron monitors (trinitron) better for games though, especially their 21".  By
the way, I have not found proprietary parts on the Gateways we have owned (about
15)
