    "Gateway's newest model in its retail gaming FX line, the FX4710, continues to raise the bar for value-based gaming systems, with an MSRP of just $1,149.99. Sporting a sleek new industrial design with streamlined black casing and silver trim, it also includes LED lights that provide system status for key activities such as a wireless network activity."

    Sounds sweet! No specs were given, though, but I'm sure they'll add a 9-series video card and Montevina processors with the redesign. It's great that they're redesigning the case, the build quality on the first one, which used to be known as P-FX, now it's just FX, was horrible. I played around with one at BestBuy and it was one of the worst there when it came to the screen and its' build quality. The LED lights don't sound too flashy, but still, they're adding LED lights. It's also retailing at $200 cheaper than it originally did.
