Maestro23 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 http://gear.ign.com/articles/111/1118794p1.html Have you ever dreamt of having an all-in-one gaming machine that consolidates a full gaming PC with your favorite consoles? Well, the designers at Origin PC have, and today announced the introduction of The Big O; a high-power gaming PC that features a built-in Xbox 360. Each PC comes with a built-in Xbox 360 'Slim', which can be played while the PC is running other tasks and software, and supports all of the same connections and features of a full console. While the built-in Xbox 360 is certainly the biggest selling point of The Big O, it is actually one of the fastest gaming rigs available. The entry level version of the system features an overclocked 4.0GHz Intel Core i7 930 processor, a liquid cooled Rampage III Extreme motherboard, dual NVIDIA GTX 480 GPUs, 6GBs of memory, dual 50GB SSD drives, a 2TB hard drive, Creative Fatal1ty sound card, and built-in Blu-ray burner. Sounds expensive? It is; Origin has priced the base configuration at $7,669. If that wasn't enough to break your bank, The Big O is also offered in the configuration used by CPU Magazine, which features dual Intel Xeon X5680 processors overclocked to 4.3GHz, an EVGA SR2 motherboard, liquid cooling, quad SLI EVGA GTX 480 GPUs, 12GBs of memory, four 50GB SSD drives, two 2TB hard drives, a built-in Blu-ray burner, and a built-in 8 channel HD audio sound card, at a price of $16,999. Have the cash to shell out for Origin's gaming powerhouse? The company is now taking custom orders for The Big O starting today via their official website: http://originpc.com/thebigo-features.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 that is just plain ridiculous. I agree, but somehow I'm not surprised. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkB Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Holy hell. EDIT - By the way, I think a certain stadium modder on MVPMods might want to contact his lawyer. Looks to me like his name is being used without permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I'll take two. One for downstairs and one for upstairs. :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitchleague Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 You know, I would absolutely love something like this. Too bad they can't offer the PC side with slightly lower specs (but still plenty powerful to play the newest games) to lower the price. I find this to be good news in the long run, though, as other companies may do the same and, as a result, get those prices lower. Maybe in 3-4 years (when I'm ready for a new rig) they'll be around $2000 or so (of course, xbox 360 won't be around anymore either by that time.)

CCH3900 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Seems kinda pointless. But I suppose if you want both... I still wuldn't wasted my time. Hell, I probably could by a X360 and build my own rig for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
