awesome - I wouldn't say no to one of these. Not quite as fun as building your own though.

As my dad would say: "Its for people with more money then brains" - not too hard to get something with all the performance without being so incredibly expensive.

Anyone who has one of these Blackbirds must not be using it at the moment, cause they would also have an xbox 360 and be busy playing Halo 3.

Vinay must be an idiot because unlike the 360 this computer wont fuck over and give you the RROD.. try playing halo 3 with that

I own a Blackbird 002 Dedication Edition, and I must say it is very slick. I didn't have to pay for mine though. Mediawiki and Federated Media gave away three of them for submitting a piece to their contest site.
