The Origin Big O was one of those products we just never expected to make it to Australia. Fortunately, in this case we’re happy to be wrong. Now all we need is a spare $23 grand.
Squeezing an overclocked PC and an Xbox 360 Slim into a single, liquid cooled tower, the Big O was never going to be cheap. The starting configuration begins at $10,999, and can be customised to your exact specs, but the top of the line X5680 will set you back $22,799. Sure, it’s more expensive than some cars, but just think about the power!

why would you need a 360 AND a PC in the once case…
that makes absolutely no sense… maybe a ps3 or a wii. but a 360? it IS basically a PC, with basically the same games…
also, the computer components in this (not including the liquid cooling, and frankly, ugly case) come to under $3k for the base model that costs nearly $11k… so you have to be pretty imaginative to justify this in any way.
on the other hand, this clearly isn’t for your level headed, objective shopper…
but I don’t really see the appeal to anyone. it looks ugly, you get no overclocker street cred, because you didn’t do it yourself. strapping a console to it makes no sense, and its too expensive to even be cool when its new – especially in the sad age where devs make graphics that look just as good on the 1/50th the cost 360 as they will on any pumped up PC – and it will be completely pointless in 6 months when its obsolete…
