Origin Genesis and Eon18 Gaming PCs Debut

I'm not so sure that a down economy when PCs are not shipping well to start with is a good time to launch a new gaming PC boutique. That is apparently exactly what Origin PC did and the company is offering its first gaming desktop and gaming notebook system.

The new desktop is called the Genesis and the notebook is the Eon18. The gaming rigs will have custom paint options including flames and more. The Genesis desktop starts at $1,699 and the user can choose any chassis on the market. Intel or AMD CPU options are available and graphics can be up to three NVIDIA or ATI cards.

The Eon18 gaming notebook has custom paint choices, an 18.4-inch LCD with 1920 x 1080 resolution. The CPU is the Intel Core 2 Extreme and graphics are via Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M. Origin crams 8GB of RAM into the machine and the storage system has up to three HDDs with RAID options. The machine also has Blu-ray. Pricing starts at $2,599.
