That mini-PC gaming rig I was all excited about last year just got priced. The rummy win PC with a small footprint and an even smaller environmental footprint will start at $1,800. https://kotaku.com/hp-firebird-803-shrinks-pc-rig-down-to-console-size-5117262 The Vista-based Firebird will come with quad-core Intel Core 2 processors of up to 2.83 Ghz (note they don’t tell you what the base line comes with), 4GB of DDS2-800 memory and dual Nvidia Geforce 9800S video cards with 1 GB of memory. The computer uses notebook PC components, meaning its maximum energy usage is 
a mere 350 watts. An external 
yono all app power supply means that it’s also much quieter.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The computer also includes twin hard drive bays, 6 USB ports, an eSATA connector and dual-link DVI and HDMI display connectors. “The high-performance PC space seems to have gone out of control when power supplies exceed 1.6 or 2 kilowatts, drawing more than the yono apk wall can handle, and people have 3-4 video cards and spend $5,000 to 6,000 on a machine just to play a videogame,” said Rahul Sood, Chief Technology Officer for HP’s 
Global Gaming Business. I’ll certainly be interested to see what that $1800 get you in the way of minimum specs. HP Set to Unveil Power-Sipping PCs for Gamers [PC World]
