CES Showing Off The Xbox 360 That Costs More Than Fahey’s Car

Origin PC is showing off their obscenely expensive liquid-cooled Xbox 360, gaming computer hybrid at CES next week.

The Big O features a high performance liquid cooled overclocked gaming PC AND a liquid cooled Xbox 360 Slim inside one system. The starting configuration combines the power of an Intel Core i7 930 processor overclocked to 4.9GHz, dual NVidia GTX480 graphics cards, and 6GB of Corsair Dominator memory at 1600 MHz into one beefy, completely water-cooled monstrosity of a gaming rig.

The starting price for the system is $US7,669, that’s more than what Fahey paid for his 95 Nissan Pathfinder this year. The “high-end” version will set you back $US16,669. The founders of the company will be showing off the rig at CES as well as announcing new systems during next week’s show.

My top question? Has anyone dropped the cash for one of these systems yet?

    This thing is such a superb ripoff. Anyone with this much cash who is stupid enough to spend it this way deserves to be fleeced. A better name would be “The Big Rube”.

    You could not in good conscience own such a system. Its fine as a proof of concept or a showpiece but anyone acutally wanting to own a system like this could only do so having built it themselves.
