HP Unleashes Gaming Monster

HP has reportedly unveiled its first gaming PC named "Blackbird 002", which marries HP innovation with Voodoo PC expertise.

A Black Aluminium monster, the "Blackbird 002" can be configured as per user choice. With a 1.1-kilowatt power supply; separate thermal chambers for processors, GPU, and PSU; and a full liquid-cooling system; HP claims the gaming PC will keep its cool even in the most heated gaming scenarios.

A limited edition "HP Blackbird 002 Dedication Edition" will be available starting September 15, with a pre-set performance configuration, unique side panels, free games, and more.

However, the system will be available for configuration at http://www.hp.com/blackbird starting October 1, and pricing will range approximately between $2,500 and $7,100.

Stick with consoles!

i agree, stick with consoles.
and for the person who disagreed with BloodySinner. just think "pricing will range approximately between $2,500 and $7,100" so lets say you get the $2,500 model, for that you could buy an Xbox 360 and a PS3 and could buy all the big sellers for each console for about what 2 years?! and maybe still have some money left. or you could buy this model and then you STILL have to buy the games you want to play, and remember that not all big sellers will be on PC, like Lair and MGS4.

so i say, stick with consoles.

ya a top of the line pc today is a paper weight in two years sigh
Your a lot better off with a mid ranged box has most games are geared to work on them anyways (besides the difference between the medium settign and the best is pretty negligible on most games.
Still if you really want a top of the line pc build it yourself not only will you save dough but you'll never have to worry about going to a stupid repair shop.
Better yet buy a ps3 or xbox and save yourself e a lot of headache and $$$ and with the ps3 you can set up linux and run a decent pc off your hi def tv.
