I just have one question for you. Does your power supply that is presently in your Gateway look like the one in the link? Like the shape of it?

dude thanks for your help! your definently going in my friends list.

btw it wont let me pm anything until the 100th post

Itronix · 05-16-2008, 06:03 AM

I appreciate it. The help's no problem. I'm glad I could help you. When you get the time, could you check your power supply to see if it looks like the one I showed? Sorry about that. I just want to be sure. I'll try and send you a pm.

Good. ATX is ATX. I actually can't pm you either.

If it's like this,

you are ok. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't like this:

or like this:

Itronix · 05-16-2008, 06:34 AM

That's ok.

Looks ATX to me. I'm just not all that familiar with mBTX boards.

They have BTX supplies, but I guess ATX is compatible.

Basically, I'm the same way that you are. I worry about things working out the way I planed. Tiger Direct also has a psu that is supposedly compatible with your pc and it's labled as an ATX. You could ask Gateway in a support chat. I've chatted with them before and they are nice and easy to deal with. It's free too! You don't need to tell them what you are doing, just ask if the power supply is an ATX supply. From all the evidence around me, it's ATX. Although, you have until 6/23, so you have plenty of time to check into it. It would just put you on the "totally sure it will work" side.
