Gaming on the PC can be odd for who your demographic is. While you have the cautious buyer that goes for the most bang for your buck, you also have the absolute opposite buyer who doesn't want to build the system they instead want the most expensive monstorous rig that walked the earth and pretty much oozes style and power.
The Blackbird 002 is one of those systems, designed by Voodoo PC (now a part of HP) the 002 is a rig that seems to command attention when it's viewed in public. The challenge to HP and Voodoo PC though is keeping up with the times and in technology it means they have to jump to the next peak when it appears. Luckily for HP they've adapted to the market and started using many OEM parts from Creative, Asus and other companies with the 002.
Today we see the latest bid from the company to compete in todays market, the Exhilaration Edition which comes packing the following.
· Liquid-Cooled Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core Processor QX9770(1) – With a core speed of 3.2 GHz, a 2 MB L2 Cache and a 1,600 MHz Front Side Bus, the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core processor QX9770 is the heartbeat of the system. Experience games the way they were meant to be played, and run multimedia applications without breaking a sweat. With Intel’s 45nm CPU coupled with HP Voodoo’s liquid-cooling solution, users have power and performance at their disposal.
· NVIDIA Nforce 790i Ultra – The nForce 790i motherboard is Intel Core 2 Extreme quad-core ready and designed to work and play well with the latest generation of Intel CPUs. It features full support for dual channel DDR3 1600MHz memory and beyond. And even though it arrives factory tuned for performance, the performance BIOS allows for complete end-user configuration.
· NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 graphics cards in SLI – The Blackbird Exhilaration Edition features dual liquid-cooled GeForce GTX 280 Gpus, each with 240 multi-threaded processing cores.
· Corsair 1,600 MHZ DDR3 memory – Corsair 1,600 MHz DDR3 memory, upgradeable to 4 GB(3), lets the Blackbird run the most demanding applications and games smoothly.
· Creative Audio Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtremegamer FATAL1TY Professional – True 7.1 digital sound that was developed specifically for gamers. X-RAM provides earth-shattering quality and performance enhancement for games with X-RAM support.
· Super Multi BLU-RAY disc and HD DVD-ROM drive- The Blackbird’s Super Multi Blu-Ray Disc and HD-DVD-ROM(4) drive gives users an expansive range of high-definition playback options. Users can enjoy next-generation media without sacrificing support for the titles already in their collection. Play BD-DVDs, HD-DVDs, DVDs, and CDs, and burn CDs and DVDs(5), all on a single optical drive.
· Windows Vista Ultimate– To support the high performance needs of its users, the Blackbird includes Windows Vista Ultimate, the most complete edition of Windows.
The system will come in at $6600 to start, the initial features being 2GB of PC12800 DDR3, the Intel QX9770 of course, SLI GTX 280 cards, EVGA nForce 790i motherboard, Creative X-Fi™ XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional audio, 1.1kw of power, 1.32TB of storage (2x160 10,000RPM in Raid 0 with a seperate 1TB 7,200RPM SATA drive), DVD Burner, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD combo reader and more. After attempting to price it out piece for piece I can say it's quite a deal and saves on all the hassle of shipping and RMA's for sure, the website now has the Exhilaration Edition up for pricing, I'd say anyone with the cash to spend on a really high end rig should probably give it a look and see what pops up.
I'll be working to find a review model to bring to you guys in the future, only time will tell how it works out though.
