Finally, HP joins the gaming bandwagon and has just announced the limited release of its new gaming PC called the BLACKBIRD 002.

The rig is thing of beauty. You’ll drool over the lovely lines, the screwless casing and of course, the specs.

It’s every gamer’s orgasm… oops…pardon me.

It’s dubbed “By Gamers, For Gamers”

Check out the specs after the jump, dude!

TECH SPECS

Alright… how much, you ask?

Quality and performance does not come cheap…

Hoo-boy!

    Hmmm.. a bit too expensive. Maybe alternatives with the same specs can be assembled and at least compete with that piece of gaming heaven hardware.

    I like the looks and the specs. Rawrr

    Alienware produces gaming heavens far better than that. Heh.

    It’s a quarter of a million. Woah. I’d just upgrade RAM and my video card, and it’d just cost me 10k. Though the cooling system is something to drool for. My cooling system is a small fan costing 100 pesos ^^.

    I’m not really impressed by dual core PCs, since most games in the market are single core games. Unless you’re running 2 games at the same time, you really won’t be maximizing a dual-core.

    I wonder if that rig was designed for games like Half Life VI, Halo VII, UoW (Universe of Warcraft) and Final Fantasy XXII….?

    It’s an expensive waste of money.
    Buying a server PC will be more worth it or go with a Voodoo built PC. They always have the best customized rigs in the market.

    I’d say tweak it up a bit more, get some RAM Heat Sinks, get a dozen or so more accessories (including a PS-like game pad, flightstick pro, and race car sim gear), and it’s gold :D Although I could probably make a better rig than this with PHP500,000… just let me transfer the liquid cooling system first :p
