While the Blackbird 002 was a slick system, it was a bit difficult on the wallet. Thankfully it looks like the minds at HP and Voodoo have been working hard on a spiritual successor, the Firebird 803 that scraps space and expandability for a (presumably) lower price point.
The new smaller version of the behemoth gaming PC will pack a Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz processor, 4GB RAM, two Nvidia GeForce 9800S cards as well as other big components. HP has also put the power supply outside of the box, allowing them to cool down the chassis a bit easier.
Sadly, the Firebird won’t be expandable at all given its small form factor, and this greatly offsets any potential savings that might be on the price tag.
Here's the reported list of specs:
• NVIDIA nForce 760i SLI chipset• Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz processor
• 4GB of RAM
• Dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800S cards
• Two 320GB SATA drives
• Blu-ray
• 5-in-1 card reader
• USB, 1 FireWire, 2 eSATA, 1 S/PDIF and 1 DVI dual-link
• Bluetooth
• 802.11n WiFi
