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...

HP Firebird 803
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
The HP Firebird 803 is one of those "love it or hate it" gaming desktop PCs. Its looks give you a lot to love, but some gamers will be put off by the lack of expandability.

HP Firebird 803 With Voodoo DNA
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

"Terrible System"
Delta_1011 speaks the truth. Just glimpsing ...
Good customer service and support
Too expensive, the above extras not worth the premium
"It is a great PC."
It's fast and quiet
It's and Intel and not AMD which is better
"Fast, neat, bad power supply"
Nice system but don't expect to just pick up ...
Case design is sweet. Liquid cooling is reliable. Video scores decent. Price in 3Q 2009 Acceptable. Great performance. HDMI, eSATA, etc
350W external power supply is not powerful enough and fails within a few months of purchase. Completely proprietary
