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
- Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme QX6850 3.0GHZ + Additional Performance Tuning
- Dual NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra with NVIDIA SLI (Tha’s a GIG of video power!)
- CPU & dual GPU Liquid Cooling
- 2 GB 800 MHz CORSAIR PC2-6400 DDR2 SDRAM
- 1 160GB 10,000 rpm SATA (Western Digital Raptor)

It also boasts a great cooling system, screwless entry for the case and peripherals.
The Blackbird site is great! You can check out all the awesome flash animations and close-up photos of the product.
Alright… how much, you ask?
Quality and performance does not come cheap…
It’s around $5,000 to $6,000 USD (PHP 270,000) depending on the extras that you order with it.
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
OMG!! $2000 pa lang pera ko amf kelan kaya ako mkakabili nan… 1yr na ipon T_T
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.
too expensive, here’s my poor man’s version of a gaming pc…http://www.ladygadfly.com/blog/?p=159
$1000-1500 only
I wonder if that rig was designed for games like Half Life VI, Halo VII, UoW (Universe of Warcraft) and Final Fantasy XXII….?
damn!!! i want that!!! that’s what i call a freak pc!! hahaha
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
Although I could probably make a better rig than this with PHP500,000… just let me transfer the liquid cooling system first :p
