One night in Las Vegas, utilitarian hardware maker HP and boutique gaming manufacturer Voodoo totally got hammered, partied like maniacs, and blacked out. When they woke up the next morning, they were married and pregnant. The offspring from that evening now takes the form of wunderboxes like the Firebird 803. The progeny of two very talented parents, this PC is one of the smartest rigs we've tested. Here's what reviewer Chris Null had to say:
HP and its boutique/luxe division Voodoo deserve serious praise for what they've accomplished with the Firebird 803. Taking a mix of laptop and desktop guts, juicing it up with high-end components, cooling it with liquid goo instead of noisy fans, and encasing it inside a gorgeous, curvy shell that would make most industrial designers weep with envy, the Firebird is a testament to how the envelope can be pushed in the typically boring PC world.
It's also a veritable bargain, priced at $2,100, fully loaded.
