Rahul Sood, CTO of HP Gaming, and his team are proud to be able to offer such a great product for gamers looking to make the best of the New Year. “We love building liquid-cooled systems because they're not only the quietest, they deliver the best overall performance. We believe that Blackbird is far and away ahead of any other products in the market.”

The HP Blackbird 002 bundle features Valve’s The Orange Box, as well as a free upgrade to Microsoft Vista Ultimate. And unlike other gaming systems, the HP Blackbird 002 features removable side panels and a tool-less design, encouraging gamers to mod and upgrade their systems whenever they feel the need. They get it all for $2,399.
