The Most Beautiful is So Far Away

You may or may not remember the Voodoo Omen but it is finally here! At a price that costs enough to buy two (2) (1+1) TWO! well built Hp Blackbirds. Thats right the Voodoo Omen STARTS AT $10,000! Now to give you a little back story on Voodoo, they are a company that builds very high end computers and recently they were bought by HP and they built the Hp Blackbird 002 with Voodoo DNA. Almost a year later Voodoo burns down there site and shows off the Brand new Omen and Envy, some of the most beautiful and stunning computers you will ever see. Voodoo PCs are hand built in Canada and they are well know for their custom paint jobs which are around $300 and up. The sad part is the Omen when announced was very high end but now with the Intel Core I7 finally coming out and the fact that the I7 uses a completely new socket so even if you wanted to swap them out you wouldn't be able to. Don't get me wrong the Omen is still very powerful and very beautiful but for $10,000 I expect it to be liquid cooled and to have the newest and best technology available.

Hey Blooper 62 –

VoodooDan from HP here. Thanks for your interest in the Omen. In response to your inquiry about cooling, yes - the Omen has a liquid cooling system. To give you some insight on how its constructed, we’ve used copper cooling pipes built directly into the aluminium chassis to improve airflow and reduce interior clutter.

We built the Omen with a standard retail motherboard, so you can replace the motherboard with a Corei7-compatible board when you're ready to add i7. Please remember that for most graphics-rich applications like gaming, video-editing, and Photoshop, the graphics cards are more important than the CPU to improve performance. I would suggest upgrading graphics cards before upgrading to i7, for the best results.

Let me know if you have any other questions about the Omen or other Voodoo products. I’m happy to help.
