Origin’s $17,000 XBox 360 Hybrid Gaming PC Beast

If you were a multi multi billionaire (in which case, why are you even reading a blog like this) and money was no object and you wanted to do a spot of gaming on your PC, then take a little look at Origin’s Big O. For those of you who think like me, even though it’s named the Big O, it doesn’t mean that it requires foreplay and a little teasing to get it turned on. Instead this Hybrid PC come Xbox combo hopes to have everything you need in this neat little liquid cooled tower.

The configuration over at Kotaku cost just under $17,000 and the only way to describe it is it’s either  technological beast of a machine or it’s creators made something powerful enough to kill a small child. The specs are listed below and taken from the Kotaku page but if you can’t be bothered to scroll then what you really need to know is that it’s a six-core Xeon 5680 processor which over clocks to 4.3Ghz along with Quad SLI Liquid Cooled GTX’s with12Gigs of souped up RAM.

From the mouth Origins,

The Big O will satisfy the demands of even the most power hungry gamer, but when you create the ultimate personal computer system it has to be designed to go above and beyond gaming” said Kevin Wasielewski, CEO and Co-Founder of ORIGIN. “From the hottest games on the market to digital video editing and 3D rendering you will have the power to perform at every level. To have the best you have to build using the latest in computer technology that guarantees unmatched performance and that is exactly what you get with the Big O.


I think the big news also here is the fact that there’s an entire Xbox 360 fitted into the case and well it’s one hell of a souped up machine. I tried to figure out any aspect of my laptop that could best this computer in any way and the only thing I can see is … that I can carry mine in a bag without needing a chiropractor. Yeah, I rock. (weeps silently in the corner.)
