SERIOUS POWER. SERIOUS STYLE.

Voodoo's new Omen is now available and we think you'll agree that it was well worth the wait. With its Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme Quad-Core processor, up to three graphics cards and advanced cooling technology, this machine has bragging rights as the fastest and most powerful desktop out there. But it's the Omen's square, monolithic form that makes the Omen stand out from the crowd. It's absolutely gorgeous!

If you're an aficionado of high-performance computers, then you've probably examined the photos of the Omen and poured over its tech specs. You may have also read the interview with Principal Designer Mark Solomon in our August issue about the philosophy behind this groundbreaking machine's design. But you have to see this thing in action to really appreciate what it can do. Beneath the Omen's perfectly smooth extruded aluminum skin beats the heart of a monster that knows no limits.

"If you're a serious speed junkie -- such as Crysis on a 30-inch screen at 60 frames a second -- this is the machine you want."
- Tom Szolyga
System Architect | HP Voodoo Business Unit

"VoodooPC is known worldwide for the quality and sophisticated design of it's machines." adds Szolyga. "Omen was created to appeal to anyone who requires an ultra-powerful desktop PC that can handle whatever you throw at it." We're talking about graphics- and memory-intensive jobs like special effected editing for HD movies, music production, architectural/engineering design, climate modeling, and anything else that eats computer capacity like candy.
