Not content to sit by and watch Dell gobble up custom-PC makers, good 'ol HP has decided to jump on the gaming PC money train and strike a deal with Voodoo PC. Rahul Sood of Voodoo laid out the entire story
here, on his blog. Here are the highlights of his extensive explanation:
• This is a deal about innovating our product line, not our supply chain.
• Voodoo and HP are working together, not separately, to make this acquisition successful.
• The fact that Ravi and I are taking senior roles in the gaming business proves that the Voodoo brand DNA will be integral to the entire worldwide gaming unit.
• Voodoo will remain in Calgary. Past customers, current customers, and future customers will receive the same or better level of experience, quality, and service.
• As the Chief Technologist of worldwide gaming I will also sit on the R&D council at HP Personal Systems Group. You can expect to see our fingerprints on many of the product lines in other areas of Hewlett-Packard.
So, with Dell and Alienware sleeping together and now Voodoo and HP gettin' it on, does this corporate takeover of the little guy upset you in any way? Would you rather the indies stay independent and the big wigs stick with their cookie cutter machines? Or do you not care at all because, after all, PC gaming is dead.
