Anyone checked it out? If so what are your thoughts.

I think it has a nice design and I'm wondering if the technology they use is really all that great that makes the system.

Check it out here:

I don't like the new design much, the sort of arm like design doesn't appeal to me at all...and I was going to spend $7000 on a PC, why would I buy an HP instead of a voodoo?

HP owns voodoo though, I mean wouldn't that mean that HP now produces the voodoo computers as well?

I never even heard of Voodoo. If you know that much about specs to want a custom computer then your better off just building your own.

I can only base it on what I do know, and that is that for example...Dell owns Alienware, however Alienware still has it's own factories and such, it's not as if they merged to a single company, more so that Alienware remains unique in style while paying all of the money to Dell.

I dunno what rock you've been hiding under....however I would say if you have money as far as the eye can see ($7000) for a computer, unless you're a die hard builder I would say it would be much easier to go with a boutique company so that you don't personally have to deal with any headaches if the build screws up.

Well apparently this PC is an amalgam of the two. I'm willing to bet HP owns Voodoo full-fledged.

My thoughts on the PC. Very sweet. Love the fact the water cooling is closed looped, doesn't need maintence, and that all parts are upgradeable DIY if you'd like in the future... a mistake Dell is still making.

Plus the case is awesome but I'm not going to lie, when I first saw it, I thought it was a cable modem or a fancy external HDD.

Pretty neat. Every computer maker now it seems is coming out with these super top-end systems that cost 1/4 a decent car.

In the future I'll probably end up buying one mainly because I'm sick of building computers... so much hassle and I suck at wiring :P
