Reviews of the HP FireBird (VoodooDNA 803)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Unique, polished case design; easily accessible interior; solid performance for its price; amazing power efficiency; strong features assortment.
The Bad: No expansion card upgrade path; chokes on more demanding games at higher resolutions; no 5.1 analog audio outputs.
The Bottom Line: HP's Firebird 803 brings the influence of its Voodoo PC acquisition to the mainstream with a compelling design, admirable power efficiency, and strong bang-for-the-buck. What it lacks is any sort of graphics upgrade path. For some, the limited upgradeability kills the deal. For those still interested, this PC offers a complete gaming PC with conversation-piece design.
