"BIOS-based overclocks"!!! Though to be totally fair, I've always wondered what it would be like to have a case that was actually a giant heatsink, I wonder exactly what "Heat-optimized aluminum chassis and foot" really means.

The price for this thing is only affordable for movie stars or drug dealers. I am neither of these so I will not be getting one. I wouldn't wan't it anyways. For that much hard earned cash you could build one yourself that would bring that bling box to it's knees.

Hmm interesting bios based overclocks? Does that mean just raising the multiplier in the bios....cause some people just don't know how to overclock.

I like the influx of gaming pcs coming from HP now. Voodoo has definitely inspired them. I love the case and the look. Price is a tad high, but Im sure the 6500 end is uber maxed out.

One question, how do you know its an Asus board?
