The lights are on
Origin's new gaming behemoth, dubbed The Big O, boasts an impressive feature set, but it will cost you.
The Big O's specs read like a entertainment junky's wet dream – dual Intel Xeon X5680s overclocked to 4.3GHz, up to 25GB of Corsair GT 2000Mhz memory, quad SLI EVGA GTX 480 FTW video cards, a Blu-ray drive, and an integrated Xbox 360 Slim. To keep all this badass hardware running smoothly, Origin implemented a liquid cooling solution. If you pimp out your configuration to the max, expect to drop around $16,999. Who's going to mortgage their future or sell off that extra kidney to buy one?

good god.
i would rather buy an alienware detksop than this
i don't know what to say...
in awe :0
I would totally get this.... if I had a million dollars... :)
*hums tune*
holy....
Unnecessary
A $17,000 Xbox Slim? That's Microsoft fanboy's dream. I bet some of them are pulling out the lotion now lol. NERDGASM
By the power of Christo...
Does it "build [me] and island, and transform into a ****ing plane and fly [me] there"? A shame.... my iPhone 4 does that.
Seriously though. I understand the need for ridiculous hardware for the "bling" or "wow" factor. Ashton Kutcher might be in the market for this, just like Timbaland might be in the market for a 2M Lamborghini for his kid - but Joe Public? I dunno so much....
There was that story a few years back of the 8 PS3's chained together with liquid cooling into one super-ps3 unit.... maybe this does have a market?
wait, kidneys are worth 17k? I might sell one.
wow look at that reasonable price (sarcasm). i like how they merged a pc with an xbox instead of a ps3 (no sarcasm)
The processor costs more than my entire computer, and I run crysis real lifesis mod at 65 fps. Who the hell needs this?
Holy cow well there goes the college fund.
dear god 25gb of RAM...
Dear Sweet Lord!........It almost matches the great O (Oprah) in terms of magnitude and power....LMAO!
take off that 9 on then end and i'll work on it....
Wow. SO cool. I'll be able to get that when I'm 30 or so. Accounting for the price drop
Now if it came with a PS3 in it. I'd sell my soul to Devil for it!
i would get this if i won the lottery
