An all in one gaming PC is an interesting thought. Right now, iMacs can't pack the hardware that the blackbird does.  They currently top out at a 3GHz Core 2 Duo and a single GT 130.  I don't see these systems as competitors at all. 

However, there are notebooks that boast quad cores and dual GPUs, so there is nothing keeping someone from building a high end gaming all-in-one, other than the fact that it would be crazy expensive compared to a desktop.  I think most gamers would put their money towards more powerful hardware rather than esthetics.

The all-in-one PC market I think would be LAN Party. How easy to tote something around the size of a 24" screen rather than a screen and a LAN Box? The Firebird has addressed the problem with gaming laptops and their cooling. Plus They can use a larger and better screen since they don't have to make it usable on the go.

I'd like to see what the other OEMs do to compete with this. Like most people reading this, I see it as a good template but want to bbe able to build one from scratch or do some heavy tweaking of components.

HP is giving Apple a run with industrial design and innovation, but they were still keeping Voodoo's price. This is a great value but it is in a catagory all its own. Don't drop the ball, HP. Cram all this into a 24" screen all in one design. Is there a market for an all in one gaming PC? Build it and see. Maybe HP can even get the mobile graphics market kick started by allowing upgrades to the GPUs.

Good, it was WAY overpriced to begin with.
