But...why does it need a power brick?? Isn't the power supply built into the system. The keyboard is where HP tried to do a Mac or Vaio but failed by a mile. This with the mouse and its dongle look really cheap. Such a high-end system and they provide this crap...seriously HP.

How does this compare to the mammoth BlackBird from HP??]]>Feb 23rd 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 23rd 2009 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 23rd 2009 3:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 23rd 2009 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 23rd 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 23rd 2009 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 23rd 2009 3:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 23rd 2009 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/Mar 26th 2009 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/Feb 23rd 2009 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/23/hp-firebird-802-unboxing-and-hands-on/

"HP was nice enough to send us a prototype Firebird 802 gaming rig, and while we haven't had a chance to fire it up and start sucking at Crysis quite yet, we thought we'd throw up a quick unboxing for you."
