HP’s HPE Phoenix H9 certainly isn’t hurting for power. Combining a quad-core processor with up to 16GB of RAM, discrete graphics and liquid cooling, who this PC is for exactly is a bit unclear.
The Phoenix H9 certainly brings to mind the Voodoo gaming machines of the past, but it’s compact mini-tower will hardly woo the hardcore enthusiasts trying obsessed with Skyrim. And while it can probably handle all the HD video that a home theatre junkie or video professional could throw at it, would they really want the flashy shell and glowing lights inside?
Whatever the case, the Phoenix H9, will be available for $US1150 beginning on January 8. No word yet on Australia. [HP]
