In honor of its 10th anniversary, Origin built the Big O pc. This pc is built from a Corsair Crystal Series 280X case but the case was modified to fit a pc and Xbox or PlayStation.
Specs (For The Old Version)
The spec of the pc are pretty good, the pc part of the build has a 6-core i5 9600K, 16gb ram, 1tb hard drive, 250gb SSD, and an Nvidia 1660 GPU,
On the console side, you could either get an Xbox one s all digital or a ps4 pro. The pc/console also comes with a Nintendo Switch dock. The price for this beast starts at $2,499 but with a ps4 pro, it is an extra $146.
Specs (For New 2020 Version)
During ces 2020 Origin launched the new and improved console/pc hybrid with updated specs. You can get up to a ryzen 9 3900X 12 core processor or an intel core i9 9900K CPU. Ps4 pro or Xbox one s. Aio liquid cooling for both Xbox and desktop CPUs. Up to 2080ti. Up to 32gb of 3200mhz ram. 750watt PSU. Also, you can upgrade the SSD and hard drive in both the pc and console. Optional streaming card and optional custom laser etching UV lighting and RGB components. Plus any corsair peripherals including RGB fans.
The beast is starting at $2499 and will climb if you add the customizations.
The big o pc is one of the most awesome and affordable pc/console. but if you feel like it you can even upgrade it yourself by adding better ram, CPU or even a full water cooling loop. But this pc is still great without upgrades because 32 GB ram is more than enough for web browsing or gaming and 3200mhz is not enough for ryzen, especially with a 12 core CPU. Usually, you would want 3600 speed because of ryzen benefits for high speed. And the specific ram has a CAS latency of 16 making the time over 8 nanoseconds but because of its higher clock speed, it makes it average.
The Motherboard in this beast is the Asrock x570m pro4 this is a great board but loses some style points. but the board does have 6 SATA ports and 2pcie ports which is good for a matx board. and this board supports up to a 3950x which is AMD’s new 3950x which has 16 core and 32 threads
You should get because there is nothing like it you can stream on a computer and game on an Xbox and it would take up less space than a pc and external Xbox, and I bet that origin would make a better one with the new Xbox series x coming out this holiday and the Xbox is even more powerful graphics which would make playing and streaming on the big o better and more enjoyable.
and maybe just maybe they might add a VR sold with the pc because who doesn’t like VR. Also, they might add the new ps5 coming soon. If they are going to upgrade it is going to be a video game destroyer on both Xbox/ps or pc games
If they do decide to remake the big o pc they need to add 64gb of ram and better CPUs and better consoles and a full liquid loop it would really make it better.
