By me actually.

Anyway, I'm a big fan of HP laptops, and their iPAQ PPCs are absolutely fab in my book. The thing I like the most is that HP gives you a much better selection of video cards than Dell does, and at a better price. The fact that I work somewhat for HP dosn't help my case ithor.

VooDoo are by far the greatest OEM PC's on the market, and they are where I'm getting my college book from.

But the thing that many people missed in this merger is that unlike the Alienware/Dell buyout, VooDoo will remain seperate from HP, HP will just be recieveing a check from them at the end of the month for their earnings. And the best part is that Rahul Sood will be heading up HP's new Gaming devision, and will also have a head seat on the design for the normal desktops that HP sells. So what this means for the consumer is that we are going to be getting some very nice looking desktops in the future, and a mainstreem OEM gaming rig actually worth $3K and isnt ugly like the XPS 7 series, or the Alienware line.

Yes but you do realise that their cases are hand built Lian Li V1000's with hand cutting, and an automotive paint job. Your paying most of the cash for the case. Also remember that they do an all watercooled setup, and that they are built by hand, not machine like Dell, and Alienware.

Would YOU ever buy it? ;D

That particular setup has stock cooling. Here's the full review.

They even ship coffee, chocolate, and temporary tatoos with their systems. Take that Dell and Alienware!!!

;D

I'm sure Voodoos pcs are amazing, for me I'm buying all my own components. Cheaper.

Well duh....however for Joe Millionare who wants a gaming rig, and can't be bothered to build himself, they are amazing.

And if I could, I would buy the case.

As a side note, the HP rep was at staples yesterday night and we were talking about this. He said that because HP would be taking over the one thing they were probibly going to do was force VooDoo to drop their prices.
