For that price, I would wanna know I can upgrade a particular component at will very easily without having to have it professionally done. Since the CPU and GPUs are liquid cooled, how can those components be "easily replaced". Even if the waterblocks are Univeral, which im not sure they are, you would still need to remove stock heatsinks and prep the new hardware, which takes some technical skill and tools. So if you want super high end stuff, learn the skills and do it yourself, youll save.

Is there anyway I can buy the Blackbird case, without all the hardware in it?

this guy (rahul sood) is the biggest phony out there. check his weblog and you will see so much HP ass-kissing, that it will want to make you puke. this guy is just lucky to have a job there since noone else would hire him. he's lucky his company was saved from bankruptcy and got sold. this had nothing to do with him but the business people behind voodoo. in fact, what does he do other than dish out self-promoting, lies. HP dollars well-spent! go figure.
