Sorry I didn't post the specs on the Blackbird with the last post, but the loaner they sent me seems to have a bad hard drive, ironic isn't it? And the site just went live with the options you can choose for building your own PC.

So far the only specs I could find on their site is for the limited run Dedication Edition of the desktop which comes with:

Rahul Sood, Voodoo PC founder and now the CTO of HP Gaming, said he wanted to completely revolutionized the desktop PC with the Blackbird. I don't know if it's a revolution, but I sure as hell like it.

What it seems the Blackbird has done is taken all of the things that are important to high-end gaming rigs, airflow, liquid cooling, wiring, and done them in a way that doesn't prevent a user from tinkering without a lot of heartache.

I can very easily get up to my elbows in Blackbird guts after only a few minutes of tool-free work. Popping open the completely plastic free chassis (the thing is made entirely from cast and stamped aluminum parts, is like open a car door, a very expensive car door. This side door even has a gasket built in to reduce sound.

I received an 80 pound box from HP via UPS on my front door step this morning. Inside the mammoth box was an equally mammoth PC, a prototype to be specific with both the HP and Voodoo names on it. On one corner of the liquid black case were the words "Project Blackbird 02."

After lugging the more than 70 pound computer, no I'm not kidding, up the stairs to my loft I plugged it in to see what this thing was made of... besides really heavy steel.

I'll be posting the spec sheets and my impressions in a few minutes.
