Blackbird 002

[Harrison]

Has anyone else seen the Blackbird 002 gaming system from HP?

Take a look at the official site: http://h20435.www2.hp.com/

The price is the first thing to make me question how it can be really worth $4,999.

But the site is worth looking at as it is very nicely designed and looks and functions very slickly with flash.

And this will make you laugh. I thought it would be fun to have a play around with the system configuration to see what I could come up with. My final system comes to a grand total of... $10,024,96. They must be joking!

For this price I set up a Quad Core Core 2 Extreme 3GHz QX6850, 4GB ram, CPU and GPU liquid cooling, Vista Ultimate, Dual nVidia 8800 Ultra 768MB, Ageia Physx 100 Accelerator, Creative Audio X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro, 1.1KW PSU, 2TB SATA, 2x Super Multi-Drives, Blu-Ray Writer, 30" LCD, Bose speaker system, Logitech mouse and Keyboard.

And that price didn't include TAX!!! Complete madness! I could build something similar for £2000 I'm sure.
