MULTI Finally, a Gaming PC with a Built-in Xbox 360

[jz90]

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.

What's this? A truce between Console & PC gaming??!?!?

i don't see any xbox 360 =S

 

[Shyber]

Haha, epic. I recall seeing these console/PC hybrids in the PS2 era as well. In fact some even had multiple consoles. Truly a device for the omnigamer.

 

[Nomad]

Truly a device for the omnigamer.

You misspelled manigamer :wink2:

 

[Necrokiller]

Until this I didn't think it was possible to spend that much on a gaming PC even if I wanted to. A PS3/PC hybrid would've made more sense

 

[Shyber]

You misspelled manigamer :wink2:

Haha. But he's only one of the many omnigamers

As if keeping a console next to a PC was a very very hard thing to do.

 

[LiV3 WiR3]

Who cares about Xbox 360 when you have a Rig like that!...

Oh cman. I expected you of all people to understand what hardware modding can mean to some people.

lol this ^

It's just an excuse to make boat loads of profit.

 

[shujaswati]

the price is insane...

 

[Sire Ahsan]

Oh cman. I expected you of all people to understand what hardware modding can mean to some people.

Well ... I even had plans to take my X360 apart and put it inside a PC case. Oh and it was very doable too

Yep, that's why I wondered why you couldn't appreciate this piece of work

 

[Sire Ahsan]

Its a stupid piece of work thats why. Id rather build an ultimate platform for 1000-1500 with both consoles and a mainstream PC ... and make it not look like a PC either. Custom design something that looks like a big console or an entertainment system.

Thats just a fat expensive PC casing with a X360 hidden inside.

 

[Shyber]

No appreciation for the aesthetics and sheer awesomeness of the hardware

 

[R3Z0N]

What does the OP mean by finally? Were we waiting for this or something? O_O

 

[Sire Ahsan]

No appreciation for the aesthetics and sheer awesomeness of the hardware

That looks good to you ? Seriously ? That Doom custom casing ... now THATS aesthetics.

Awesomness of hardware doesnt wow me anymore. Not because it aint awesome ... but because its just stuff you buy from the market and assemble. It merely depends on how much dough you have, not skill. And even then, the piping going around in there looks cluttered. There are definately better looking builds out there.

Plus ... 4x GTX480s ... teh hel u gona use that for ?

Any one actually wanting to buy this junk will be wasting their money! You can buy a high-end gaming PC and still save a lot of the money which you can give away to the flood victims or spend elsewhere!
