tech: HP Blackbird 002

October 8 2008 | WilHarris

For today’s show, I went to meet up with the guys from HP, who were showing off their latest gaming system, the Blackbird 002.

The system has been out in the US for a while now, but it’s only just arrived for purchase in the UK - and is being sold exclusively through Harrods, of all places (presumably because you need a large chunk of spare change to even look at the thing, let alone buy it).

The Blackbird is specced up with the latest gaming hardware - although the Radeon cars could probably be happily swapped out for a pair of slightly more powerful GeForces - and I spent the morning playing Crysis: Warhead on it, hich was rather a nice experience. Enjoy the vid.

What do you have against the Radeon cards? If the pair consists of 4850 or better, it blows the GTX280 away anyway (except maybe in Crysis Warhead ;)), and GTX280 SLI would probably have been too hard to cool anyway.

I wish they’d sell the case separately, I really like the looks.
