That's pretty exclusive!]]>Jun 9th 2008 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/
I am thinking, however, that Amazon and NewEgg will sell this thing for a lot less than the $3,299 price listed above.

NewEgg especially.]]>Jun 9th 2008 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Jun 9th 2008 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/
suppose to make it look more sinister]]>Jun 9th 2008 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Vista found all the updates to USB dongle software on a holiday weekend, which Leopard could not, meaning a gaming box from HP-Voodoo saved the day. Indeed the shock as a longtime Mac user was how easy it was to navigate around, set the computer up and enjoy the raw power of having GPU in SLi mode. To have a head turning cutting edge design is nothing to sniff at.
And it's built to be upgraded off the shelf. Non of the stupid waiting for Apple to provide a GPU upgrade on a year old box. The internal space has enough room for larger motherboards. QT plays well on the BB and on the MacPro it stutters like an old powerbook.

I use both platforms. the MacPro is for FinalCut Studio and was for animation but I find everything from web design to Toon Boom Digital Pro works so much better on a quarter of the RAM and one 4 core CPU with 1.5GB of GPU power.

Can you build uglier and cheaper? Yes and faster.

This is worth the money. It's good for work and many hours of play.]]>Jun 9th 2008 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/
I have to admit though, the Blackbird does look GREAT.]]>Jun 9th 2008 12:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Jun 9th 2008 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Jun 9th 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/
And no, I am not an apple fan or fanboy....]]>Jun 9th 2008 10:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Jun 9th 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Jun 9th 2008 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Jun 9th 2008 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Jun 9th 2008 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Aug 16th 2008 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/09/hps-blackbird-002-gets-exclusive-configuration-for-retail-launc/Aug 24th 2008 4:20AM
