Finally...the proprietary market dives in head first.

I would say that it is a little overdue; however, I can see why they took a "wait and see" attitude when it came to high-performance systems. Not many people are accepting of the idea of mixing water with electricity. There are too many boneheads out there that want a kick-ass system but don't take the time to learn the in's and out's of the system. Kinda like buying a Ferrari and drawing a blank on your face when someone asks you what kind of engine you have in it.

I'll have to track this down and take a look at it.

That would be the HP Blackbird 002. It's actually been designed by the HP-Voodoo Gaming department. I think the top of the line system is around $6500 with a 30" monitor. The case is also strong enough to hold 600lbs of weight without breaking.


I wish they'd release the case though--that's what I want.

Damn that's definitely one hell of a looker. Customisable spec right the way up to top. I wonder how efficient the cooling is on a top-end quad with their water gear?

Definitely a contender for the high-end Dell water-cooled XPS systems.

Loving the case too.

You can bet it's gonna be pricey.

Hey wait isn't that a ban-worthy offence?

Over at Game Apex I made an even equally offensive yet comical friendly joking reply and was threatened with a ban by Spectrum and put on probationary status. Or hey are there different rules for the more highly respected members? Or maybe if a mod doesn't like you they're allowed to jump at any excuse? Ooooh I see.

Sorry for the sarcasm, just making a fair point.

So Im guessing a Nuclear Power Plant isnt Included with the Computer? Well Im sure with my Genius we can cook something up that can generate power.

What will they think of Next? Wind Powered Computers?
