HiPe intros K-Tana 2.0 gaming rig, two-in-one Daisho 2.0 Dual PC

HiPe PC is no stranger to the land of excessive power and unorthodox construction, and the firm's latest two gaming rigs are no exception to either. The K-Tana 2.0 can come stocked with your choice of an overclocked 3.2GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme or dual liquid-cooled AMD Athlon FX-72 / FX-74 processors, an overclocked NVIDIA 8800 SLI graphics setup, 1,200-watt power supply, up to 8GB of DDR2 RAM, up to 4TB of HDD storage, acoustical dampening, colored neon lighting systems, and the ability to order up a customized paint scheme if the early 90s vibe isn't really workin' for you. The real head-scratcher is the Daish? 2.0 Dual PC (shown after the jump), which as the name implies, sports a duo of networked PCs within a single vertical chassis. The primary PC is a GeForce 8800-equipped gaming rig with up to 4GB of RAM and 4TB of HDD space, while the secondary computer is a "personal media center or server" powered by either VIA's Epia C7 or Intel's Merom processor. Additionally, the secondary unit is connected to a motorized touchscreen LCD and responds to your voice thanks to the included speech recognition software. Notably, both machines can be configured to include a Blu-ray writer, and while both systems manage to start around $2,600, the sky really is the limit when adding in luxurious extras.

Hey, what do you want? Quality or a Company that does everything itself? You have to have atrade-off somewhere!!!! :D

-that was soooo not aimed at the imac... ;)

[JohnTitor @ Jun 4th 2007 7:45PM]

ryhan, I wan't Quality for the price, that's why I build my PCs
but it's always nice to see companies like come up with nice designs for small HTPCs or Laptops

k-tana...more like GAY-tana.

Why would I want a second computer inside my computer? Seems to me embedding the second system inside the first would negate most of the advantages of having multiple PCs.

[Andy @ Jun 4th 2007 9:24PM]

That's a nice setup really, I tend to shoot down these computers by saying 'you can build your own for cheaper/better', but the skills required to make one comparable to the dual pc would probably be a bit out of range of most beginners.

yes, because these aren't off the shelf parts /sarcasm

Um. I have a Thermaltake Armor with the 25cm side fan and I know for sure those outside two are identical to my case.

every one knows that adding flames gets you 10 extra fps and the neon adds 15.

while the secondary computer is a "personal media center or server"

just what you need...
