O.K. So I was hoping that someone here know, how am I (whom live in Europe) supposed to buy/import a HP Blackbird 002, when Hp doesn' t ship outside of North America. I know noone whom I could give money and ask to send it as a package. So I ask if anyone here knows any place or way, (preferably safe) to import a HP Blackbird 002?

Looks like... a killer machine.

What can it do? Does Crysis have anything to do with this purchase?

Looks purdy...

EDIT: but it' s a HP???

Yeah, since I cancelled the comp I had originally intended to buy half a year ago, and since my current comp is worthless I thought it be just about the right time to get a new can in my apartment. I need it for Maya 3D rendering and Crysis, my previous comp was a HP and I never had problem with it, so I thought this beautiful, powerful machine from a brand I almost trust would do perfect for me. however as is, I just cannot seem to get my hands on it. Big time bugger, I know.

If I were an entrepreneur I' d start a company focusing only on order-importing things for people in Scandinavia. People would just have to say what they want and where to deliver it and the company would give a price tag and everyone would be happy.
Just imagine, you call " Ginjirou' s Import" and say " Yo, I want this HP Blackbird 002 to my adress. I would answer " send me $XX.XX and you' ll have it within a week"

You have a Dell.

And this looks far nicer than the rest of the machines that HP make, just as the Alienware and XPS range' s look far nicer than the rest of the DELL kit.

So HP bought Voodoo and this is the result!?

I don' t know.

Well HP wanted to take a bite into the enthusiast market for a while now, is Voodoo lending their expertise? Maybe. I' m pretty sure Voodoo itself won' t go away though. Just as Alienware won' t change much. All four companies should be more efficient as they share resources. HP and DELL will control more assets but the products of these four companies likely won' t change dramatically due to the two mergers.

They' re still there.

I didn' t understand why DELL bought Alienware though... i mean, they have their XPS range...

Probably gain ground on their declining market share. HP and Dell are at eachothers throats these days. It would actually surprise me if one acquired a boutique brand and the other one did nothing as a response. These are stock companies, marketshare matters for them. Besides Dell could never be able to market themselves to enthusiasts the way Alienware does.

HP is the #1 computer manufacturer, it beat dell a while ago.

And they have acquired other companies like Compaq.

It is said the HP Blackbird 002 is the bestest computer out there, I provide no source, so please believe in my honest self.

But really I did read some reviews and all where very positive about the Blackbird, some even going as far as saying it' s the perfect computer. And since I' m a sucker for perfect I really wanted it. Too bad I can' t get one though... Guess I' ve gotta start checking for alternatives.

Your most similar alternatives are DELL' s XPS and Alienware ranges...

You' ll be able to customize the spec with both just as you would have done with the Blackbird and i highly recommend Alienware.

You live in Greece right?

I think he lives in Sweden. He' s swedish anyway. Although we' ve joked about his name
