Becoming available later this week this week is the new Blackbird 002, from Hewlett Packard’s newly acquired Voodoo PC division.

From NYTimes online:

“Inside a heavy aluminum case with fins for heat dissipation, two big fans ventilate overclocked bleeding-edge quad-core processors, graphics and video cards. The revved-up guts require pipes with circulating coolant. An external hanger for user-invented add-ons might hold a fan to cool the PC’s owner.

Five hard-drive bays are built in, with space for a sixth, and the drives can be linked in a RAID setup for opponent-crushing speed or for fail-safe backups of as much as 6 terabytes of data.”

It is really nice to see style coming back to computers (besides Apple goodness).

But with prices from $2,500 to $6,500, style is gonna cost
