HP Blackbird<br />
002<br />
True frag artists know that gaming PCs<br />
are the boxes with the real processing<br />
power. But it’s the rare rig that combines<br />
thrilling design, useful features, and<br />
full-throttle performance. The Blackbird<br />
002 is such a system. This gaming god,<br />
the first offspring of HP’s recent union<br />
with VoodooPC, proves that when gamers<br />
talk, some people are listening. Take<br />
a good look—it’s time to stop consoling<br />
yourself. —CLAUDE MCIVER<br />
