Boy I would love to get one of these (Ultimate config) hehe

Origin PC, a builder of high-end personal computers founded by ex-employees of Alienware, on Tuesday introduced a new system that not only features top-of-the-range hardware components, but comes with integrated Xbox 360 slim game-console, which means that the "Big O" system can run both PC and Xbox 360 titles.

The Origin's Big O systems comes inside custom double-wide case that can incorporate a 2P or 1P system. In addition to the personal computer itself, Origin integrated Xbox 360 game console inside the case in order to let gamers run their favourite titles developed for Microsoft Corp.'s latest system and not available on the PC. Origin's Big O is a unique personal computer for gamers that actually comes equipped with integrated game console. But this is not the only unique feature of this ultimate rig.

Even the "starting" configuration of the Big O sports quad-core Intel Core i7-930 central processing unit overclocked to 4.0GHz and cooled by a liquid-cooling solution. The system is based on Asustek Computer's Rampage III Extreme mainboard, features 6GB of Corsair memory, two Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 graphics cards in SLI mode, two OCZ 50GB Vertex 2 SSDs in RAID 0 mode, a 2TB WD Caviar Black, a Blu-ray disc burner and so on. The ultimate configuration includes two six-core Intel Xeon 5680 chips overclocked to 4.30GHz and cooled down by a liquid-cooler and features EVGA SR2 mainboard, 12GB of memory, four Nvidia GeForce GTX 480, four SSDs and so on.

thats a nice box except for the Nvidia video card.

So what's the point in including an XBOX360 in the same case as the PC? I don't get it. I can see it saving space, but unless you have a monitor with 2 DVI and/or HDMI inputs there's not much point unless you feel like swapping plugs all the time between the two, unless you have a TV/monitor for the XBOX and one for the PC as well. You could use a KVM or similar device I suppose, but with DVI, those tend to be quite flaky (I know from experience unfortunately ).

That sounds like a sweet computer setup. Only if there were a picture.........

I like exile360's recipes for building your own tower! The way you want! I still have the txt file Sam for the parts for the last duo core. I'm using an HDMI on a 22" LCD ....

EDIT and the prices at newegg were great!
