There is playing games on a computer, and then there is gaming on a machine inspired by the gaming gods for gaming. If you haven't seen the hp blackbird 002, it is inspiring. Not only does it have a one of a kind design and look, but under the hood, it has power in spades.

Inside this gaming beast is: an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 processor, dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT graphics cards, 4GB of Corsair Dominator RAM, a 500GB SATA drive, 7.1-channel onboard HD audio, and nForce SLI motherboard with RAID support. It sounds impressive because it is.

Until now , you could only look at it at the HP Blackbird 002 website, but later this summer, this beauty will be available at various brick & mortar stores including BestBuy and Circuit City. Not only will it be available, but it will be demoed and playable.

If you're looking for a sleek, stylish gaming computer that can handle anything you might throw at it, check out the HP Blackbird 002 at a retail outlet near you this summer. If you take one home, it will set you back $3,299.
