HP's Voodoo-Powered Blackbird 002 Unveiled By Creator (Video)
Tonight in New York, VoodooPC cofounder (and HP employee) Rahul Sood shows off his newest miracle of PC science, the Blackbird 002. It's a little long (7min, 30sec or so) so you might want to grab a beverage. –Video by Richard Blakeley

When HP acquired Voodoo PC, the boutique gaming maker, I could think of only one thing: What would a creative PC maker like Rahul Sood do with the resources of a small platoon of HP engineers? The Blackbird 002 is the first collaboration, built with lots of HP workstation and server innovations, and a few neat tricks like the foot that keeps the PC off the ground for a sixth side of cooling. Unlike the Dell XPS line with its proprietary-sized components, this is fully standards compliant for when you want to rip out the guts and upgrade a few years later. The crazy thing is, this is the HP branded gaming PC with VoodooDNA: The gnarly Voodoo branded stuff is yet to come. The details:

The ENVY H:171 (just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?) was just announced. It has an Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor, a Dual NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GPU, and a whopping 600GB of disk space spread across three 200GB HDDs. Yeah, three hard drives in a laptop. It also has a 17-inch screen, which is reasonable, but this kind of laptop kind of feels like it needs a ludicrous 19-inch screen, doesn't it? I guess I'm still getting used to them being able to cram this much stuff into a relatively normal-sized laptop case. Well, at least it's red. No word on pricing as of yet. [Voodoo]

Rumor has it HP's going to be releasing something very cool in the world of laptops this fall. By combining Voodoo's water-cooling, which you've mostly seen in desktops so far (save for a couple units here and there), HP is going to create a water-cooled laptop, which has no fans and gets eight hours of battery life.

USB-Compatible Voodoo Doll
It's been a while since I busted out my wiccan bible and had a little go with witchcraft, but I recall voodoo dolls not requiring power, or USB connectivity for that matter. Upon stabbing this voodoo doll with a pin, knife, icepick, etc it will spout out "nastygrams" on the computer screen that it is connected to. This doll, called Voodoo Word, isn't out yet, but it supposedly should be available soon. More »

HP Buys Voodoo PC: WTF
Like when Alienware was abducted by Dell, we're dumbstuck by this buy. Voodoo PC, my personal favorite maker of exotic gaming rigs, just got snatched up by HP. Rahul and Ravi, you were rich before, but man, are we going to have to start reading about you in Forbes? And sweet baby Jesus, what kinds of watercooled, monster machines are you guys going to start building with a harem of HP engineers at your beck and call. More »

Navio 902T2: Media Center PC, Big LCD Face
Seven inches: Measure it up! This Media Center PC has a 7-inch touch screen on its face, presumably to be used as a secondary monitor, like Voooo PC's lust worthy Aria. It has a better TV tuner than the Aria, being that it's over the air HD. But the rest of the spec sheet ain't looking so sweet: A Pentium D950 "Pressler"? No match for the Core 2 Duo inside the Voodoo. Everything else on it is standard issue. Meh. More »

Acu-Point Pen: Healing Magic
The Acu-Point Pen is a $100 device that uses what its maker calls "specially designed electronic acupuncture probes" which do their best to simulate traditional acupuncture treatments. We're thinking that if you're going to employ a quack method of treatment such as acupuncture that doesn't really work, it would be more fun to have it not work via a gadget rather than those painful pin pricks. Plus, its LCD screen not only shows you how much better you're feeling, it claims to be able to detect problems with your health. More »
