Origin PC Announces The Big O Gaming PC, Fuses PC Might with Xbox 360 Capability

when a company does something like this it is purely for the free brand advertising. they get to send out a press release with pretty pictures and get some of their industry friends to comment on how cool it is. i doubt they sell more than 1 of these. the rest will be given away in competitions and sweepstakes once the hardware is old and people no longer care. :laugh:

What exactly is keeping you from building a rig like this? Gut a 360, find some blocks for it and I'm sure you could make it fit in a huge case like that. I know you wouldn't get the warranty but you might save a good bit.

xspc still make a 360 block :D

and as for cant build a pc like this even if you tried Mr 3volvedcombat, you could build something a lot better with half that budget :slap: :shadedshu

17k on warranty, not surprised you need it cooling 2 xeon's and 4 480's in one loop, I bet one of those cards pops every month :roll:

So Now sense i Saw more pictures, on the actual site of the 360

It could make sense to build it yourself.

I was bored, Totaled everything, and a comparable 400+ dollar case.

Alone it came to 11,000grand without the water cooling parts. fans/rads/bits/pumps/blocks.
The labor to sleeve the actually wires of the 2 power supply's. or build the WC loop with all those radiators.

Id say built yourself, if purchased retail, should add up to 12,000ish.

They have to pay the guy, Overclocking the system, Checking its performance, Sleeving the actually cables to the power supply's, Putting it in a wooden box crate without breaking it, add in the warrenty fee for 3 years, and unlimited support, and just commision on the side.

I think the 16-17k is worth it still guys.

I think its got a nuff cooling to handle it, not overclocking the cards to the max here, or at all in the first place, they are stock clocked though :O
 
honestly it isn't a bad idea imo, but the price is ridiculous. great hardware but....2.5k at the most.

Well, I spent close to five thousand dollars building my Gaming PC. I would not mind spending seventeen thousand dollars for a supercomputer :)
 
yea.... like 80 of you thought it would be a great idea to email, IM, txt, msg me about this today.

haha... not funny. lol


yea.. this thing has some serious hardware and it does look real nice but i dont get, if you are going to sell an OCed machine, why they dont go for bigger OC?

ESPECIALLY with water on the 5680s.

i can get the pair of x5650s i have running faster than 4.3ghz on air 100% stable, and i did... for a week crunching 24/7, so whats the deal with 4.3ghz out of chips that cost nearly 2x as much?

my 5680s have been in the demo machines for 2 months now running 4.5ghz on AIR without any hitch. they been put through a barrage of benches and tons of data has been processed through those cpus without any issue of heat or instability.

when i look at this all i see is eyecandy. like someone said already, they will sell 1-2 max and thats it. but you have to understand one thing about this kind of thing.....

in order to get your name out there you do shit like this. you build a crazy machine and show it off to everyone. why? because then everyone has something to know you by.

but yes.... $17k? whew. i have $24,381 invested in 5 fully built SR2 machines that would likely kill this thing with exception of the xbox360 and looks of course.

good job orginpc. you made a sick ass machine. now show us something that will sell and keep your pockets lined with greenbacks.

PS... with 4 gtx480s you can get about 8-10% performance increase by using 24gb or more ram, even at slower speeds.
 
Not enough pics for fapping

Reading this almost made me wanna screw with you too. LOL
 
You wouldn't get a warranty doing this yourself, but with all the money you saved, you could buy several more 360 slims and reinstall them if they fail. With the improved cooling, I suspect it would not fail for any reason on you. Not bad for the A+ games they refuse to port from Xbox 360 that would run way better on a nice, current tech rig.

There selling a overclocked machine..
Wernt you running 1.45volts for your 4.5Ghz overclock?

Your ES 3.45Ghz chips havnt been benched higher then 4.5Ghz, so what are you trying to say?

Selling a over-clocked machine, in the first place, is absolutely risky man, you know that. Yes you can clock it to 4.5Ghz but you had high voltage from what i saw:P

You cant expect all these xeon 5680's to be overclocking as great as some others, 4.3Ghz in the first place is pushing it, anybody that buys this system, or potentually buys this computer probably wont have any overclocking experience at all. So if the overclock, does some how fail, o shit basically :ohwell:

So they keep it at 4.3Ghz, so most the chips they order, can achieve that clock with perfect stability, and not a great chance of it crapping out over degradation, or 1.4+volts.

I want to use this rig for 5 years or a little less if i was paying 17k for it.

Just saying.
 
Is there an actual striped down xbox 360 slim in there or is it something special? Most likely just an expensive pc and 360 in the one fugly case. For that i would just stack a 360 on top of a rig, why would you need one inside it?

I dont think the price of the parts is actually $17,000 a lot less.

Lots of people dont even get that in wages!
 
"I'm thinking I might take that new chick from Logistics. If things go well I might be showing her my O-face. "Oh... Oh... Oh!" You know what I'm talkin' about. "Oh!"

not all my chips are ES and no.... 1.45v was only for 4.6ghz+. ~1.425v is fine for 4.5ghz
 
Damn that thing is expensive.:eek:

Some nice hardware in it though.
 
its lighting fast, eh? (someone forgot an N)
 
youve got to be schmitting me...

that is one utter beast of a machine, with a w/c 360 too, jeesus..

they won't sell that many but grats on the design.
 
Its nice and all but where can you harvest the nuclear energy to power this?

They forgot to include that it comes with a ridiculous electricity bill. lol
 
This thing is packed and fugly. Love the idea, would do it myself if I had $$$, but completely different...

Btw, what the heck is "Windows 7 Home Ultimate..."???

I love it when someone tries to kick it up a notch too much and then fails massively...
 
Jisses.. One would almost need a powerplant of their own!

So...what happens when your new PC goes RROD?

I can imagine the front of the case inverting colors to show a red ring. I also imagine the clock from Lost and the alarms going off with it.
 
Hey guys remember that the 17k USD config runs dual Xeon Processor, EVGA SR-2 mobo and Quad-SLI GTX 480 :respect:
Unless you use money like paper, then I'll swear this thing is worthless :D
I'd go with a i7 975 and a Dual GTX 460 plus 12Gb Ram, that's clearly enough for now and maybe a few years later
