While the cube shape does look awesome, it also plays an important role is cooling the system and making it easier to switch out the different components.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The baseline model of the Omen X come with some rather high-end hardware. These include a i7 Skylake processor, 8GB of RAM, liquid cooling, a Radeon RX 480 graphics card, a 256GB SSD and a whopping 10 USB ports. HP are also offering a stand-alone Omen X chassis that users can use to build a PC from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">No word as to when the Omen X will be released in South Africa, or what it will cost. Pricing in the U.S will start at $1 799 for the baseline model and $599 for the stand-alone chassis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"810\" height=\"456\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-cthd-Y9m-8\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s safe to say that PC gaming is big business.
