As soon as I got word that my Blackbird was somewhere in San Diego on its path to my house…my wife and I got ready. She was at the window, ready to alert me of the UPS man. I was doing stretches because I heard this thing was heavy and gigantic…like it’s owner.

Get ready for a ton of pictures. This may very well be the longest picture blog post I have ever done.

The UPS man was like “is this a server?” The box is huge. It should come with wheels.

2 stick figure people needed to lift this computer.

That’s me…all excited, but still needing to cook dinner.

Ah, releasing the Canadian air.

The installation poster–pshhh.

Lifting box one. The accessories were in here (keyboard, mouse, manual, and cables).

Sweet…the Razer Keyboard. It’s the Tarantula model that VoodooPC includes with the Omen machine.

A look at the software and manuals.

The Razer DeathAdder mouse, VoodooPC branded, no less.

In case I had crazier video card needs (past my 8800GT SLI setup that this includes), here are the cables.

My CD of drivers, all Blackbird looking.

Some Blackbird schwag.

All the manuals come in this neato Blackbird-branded box.

And now to open up the Blackbird itself.

First to stand up the box with the system in it.

I am trying to lift it. I knew it was going to be heavy, but seriously–this is heavy.

Liquid-cooled. Nice.

Corsair Dominator RAM.

The motherboard has a little LCD screen in the back.
