HP FireBird (VoodooDNA 803) review

Unique, polished case design; easily accessible interior; solid performance for its price; amazing power efficiency; strong features assortment

No expansion card upgrade path; chokes on more demanding games at higher resolutions; no 5.1 analog audio outputs

The Firebird's external power supply helps keep the system small and lightweight.

We suspect many hard-core PC gamers will be turned off by the HP Firebird 803 ("with VoodooDNA", according to the official product name) because it lacks upgradeability. The spiritual kid brother to HP's Blackbird 002, the Firebird brings some of...

HP Firebird 803

By Joel Santo Domingo

HP's purchase of Voodoo has resulted in the past in an Editors' Choicewinning gaming rig, the Blackbird 002, and the Voodoo Envy 133 subnotebook. The latest system to come out of this union is the HP Firebird with VoodooDNA 803 ($2,099 list). A high ...

Dead sexy-looking. Blu-ray player. Energy-saving mode. SLI graphics power when you need it. No crapware. Wireless mouse and keyboard included

Limited internal expandability. External power brick. No Blu-ray burner option. Its 5,400-rpm notebook-class hard drives are slower than those of the competition

HP Firebird 803 With Voodoo DNA

By Christopher Null

HP and its boutique/luxe division Voodoo deserve serious praise for what they've accomplished with the Firebird 803. Taking a mix of laptop and desktop guts, juicing it up with high-end components, cooling it with liquid goo instead of noisy fans, and ...

Amazingly quiet and conscientious in its power consumption. Outstanding design ; belongs on top of the desk, not beneath it. Solid all-around performance at a fair price

No front USB port. Curvy design means you can't put anything on top of the case. Functionally locked down, with no real upgrade path

By Nick Mokey

Price, style and efficiency put this PC in its own category, even if others can outrun it.

Attractive and compact case; ultra quiet; efficient; affordable; runs most games competently; quality accessories

Very little expandability; slightly above average gaming performance
