Voodoo Omen gaming desktop priced from $6500 and tops out at $20000

June 10th, 2008

With all the hoopla surrounding the announcement of the iPhone 3G, it’s pretty easy for other new products to get lost in all the madness. HP is looking to generate a bit of buzz of its own with two new computing products, but it unfortunately doesn’t have the power of the press to generate the insatiable tongue wagging that comes with a new Apple release.
That being said, HP’s latest new high-end products cover both the desktop and notebook fronts in the form of the Voodoo Omen gaming desktop and the Voodoo Envy 133 business laptop.
For gamers that have no limit on how much they are willing to spend on a gaming rig, look no further than Voodoo Omen. The towering desktop features a customizable, all-aluminum case design which can be optioned with Voodoo Allure paints and glass, leather, or wood side panels. Other exterior adornments include a 7″ color auxiliary display (800×480) built into the front of the case to display game stats, movies, music videos, etc.
Other features include the ability to rotate the motherboard to plug in system cables from the top of the case, tool-less side panels, eight Voodoo Ink laser engraving designs, RGB accent lighting, and the ability to choose from five different colors for the liquid coolant.
When it comes to hard specs, the Voodoo Omen comes equipped with an ASUS Striker Extreme II motherboard which is paired with either an Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core 3.20GHz QX9770 or 3.00GHz QX9650 processor. Up to 8GB of 1600 MHz CORSAIR PC-14400 DDR3 can be ordered with the system as well. As expected with a high-end gaming rig, the Voodoo Omen supports NVIDIA SLI and ATI CrossFireX graphics options.

AFL Arena Football Betting – New Orleans vs. Tampa Bay

May 26th, 2008

AFL betting commences as the league enters its 11th week of action, and online sports bettors get to sink their teeth into a fantastic Southern Division match-up between the (7-3) New Orleans VooDoo and the (3-6) Tampa Bay Storm. New Orleans currently sits in first place within the division and holds a four game lead over the Storm. With last weeks loss at Georgia, the VooDoo are now 2-3 SU and ATS on the road, but they’ve managed to make their sports betting backers some cash going 7-3 ATS overall. Tampa Bay suffered its third straight loss at home last week against the Chicago Rush, and now stands 1-3 SU and 1-2-1 ATS in their own house. The Storm has cost AFL bettors this season by compiling an overall mark ATS of 3-4-2.
This will be the second match-up between these teams this season as they last met back in Week 3. The VooDoo trounced the Storm in “The Graveyard” winning by a 76-55 final count that saw them win outright as 10.5-point home underdogs. The combined 131 points soared over the closing ‘total’ of 105.5. The loss snapped the Storm’s three-game winning streak over their division rivals, and they’re now 4-3 SU and 5-2 ATS in their seven all time meetings against one another.
New Orleans got steamrolled in last week’s battle at the Gwinnett Center with the Georgia Force. Georgia spread bettors cruised to the easy ATS victory when the Force built a 38-19 halftime lead, and cruised in the second half to secure the 66-39 home win and cover. The loss snapped the VooDoo’s two-game winning streak ATS.
Tampa Bay absorbed another tough home defeat last Monday night when they fell by a 51-46 final count to the Chicago Rush. Spread bettors got to kiss their sister that night as the five-point margin of victory just so happened to be the spread on the game. The AFL pointspread was 100% accurate for the match-up.
