The pinnacle of design and performance
Supporting up to four graphics processing units and sporting advanced
thermal engineering, the modern-styled Voodoo Omen blends art and
technology inside and out. The Omen features integrated copper liquid
cooling pipes and a built-in, fully functional LCD auxiliary screen. Its
advanced thermal engineering with liquid cooling makes it run quietly, even
when performing at high levels.

Customers can add the finishing touches to their Voodoo Omen via an
extensive palette of Voodoo Allure paint color choices. The new Voodoo
Omen will be available for a starting price of $7,000.


Other key features include:

* Vertical diffusion thermals - the power of natural convection currents is
harnessed for advanced cooling and quiet acoustics.
* Auxiliary LCD - a 7-inch (diagonal) built-in auxiliary LCD is a full-function
secondary display.
* Advanced liquid cooling - copper cooling pipes embedded in the chassis,
aircraft-quality quick-release hose connectors, and more combine in one of
the most advanced liquid cooling systems on the planet.
* Tool-less architecture - side panels, hard drives, video cards and other
critical components can be removed without tools.
* Top-loading cables - cables plug into the system under a removable top
panel, improving access to the cable connections and contributing to the
clean exterior design.
* Interior lighting - battery-powered interior lighting gives users visibility
to upgrade components when the system is powered off.

I didn't see your thread and it didn't come up when I searched. Hence creating my own.

I would like it without the screen... and better placement of the screen/optical drives... more to the center of the case? it would look better even if it would be harder to use

i rather like black bird...

This omen lacks in style inside the case i think no great organization!

but vodoo team they aint playing around... they aim the top no doubt

yeah blackbird is nice, but they seem to be way over hyped... they havent' really done much thats revolutionary with it? sure they include a lot of aftermarket stuff standard like hot-swappable SATA drives... but thats a basic change, as is the standard these days to make tool-less drive bays and expansion slot holders...

the case itself looks quite intriguing,b ut otherwise... seems the price tag, atleast for me is way out of proportion

the omen series on the other hand has some spectacular looks and performance with fully custom watercooling... not to mention Rahul Sood is an inspiration, he didn't even graduate college (right?)

Yep this thing is beautiful (except for the lcd), but Rahul Sood seems to be going crazy and overly arrogant - he's becoming Steve Jobs...

how so? if anything, I think he deserves it

Voodoo is definately the premier name in high-end computing...

speaking of which...

the way that it has vertical airflow is such a logical step in the evolution of cases

hot air naturally rises up! so if you direct all the airflow from the bottom to top, it just makes sense!

I don't agree with your assertion here, only now is Voodoo doing anything to separate its self from most of the other members of the pack, but there are vendors who offer a better service and performance.
His claims that nobody else can do it like Voodoo and that they know what other design teams do not are bullish and unsubstantiated. Don't get me wrong, I like most of his train of thought and have respect for him, but I don't like his underlying smugness.

isn't that how you seperate yourself from the competition?

you can't go to a press release and say "Our Voodoo Omen line of computers is just about as a good as our competitors, nameluy Alienware." ??

I see what you mean though... I still think the previous Omen was still ahead of Alienware and whoever else competes with them

Murderbox anyone? :D
