Our review of the super popular, almighty HP Blackbird 002 system is now live on the site. Time to forego your child's education and get this system - yes it's that good!

Snip:

"A machine this gnarly should have a burly CPU, and the Blackbird does not disappoint. This model features Intel’s new QX6850 CPU, which is a quad-core CPU that has been overclocked from 3.0GHz to 3.3GHz. If you’ve read reviews of the quad-core CPUs, you’ll know that they can run extremely hot, even at stock speeds, but HP has addressed the heat problem with a custom water-cooling setup that is made by Asetek. It features a large internal radiator and is cooled by two 120mm fans. The unit is totally self-contained and requires no maintenance. In this configuration, just the CPU is water-cooled, but there’s an option to water-cool the GPU as well."
