Origin PC knows you have to pull out the stops to impress at CES. That's why its unveiled the latest version of the Genesis desktop with a processor overclocked to 5.7 GHZ. Combine that with a 3GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 and you've got a system that melts faces and wins races.

Of course, Origin wouldn't be so quick to overclock all that fancy gear if they weren't working directly with companies like Intel and NVIDIA, and putting together one hell of a cooling system to keep it from turning to slag. Origin's Phase cooling is the heart of the system; CNET can give you the nitty-gritty on how it manages to get CPU temperatures -40 degrees Celsius.

Origin has also used CES to unveil new cases for their Eon gaming laptops. These are the same blazing fast notebooks CNET gave 4 out of 5 stars. In fact, one of their only criticisms was that Уthe generic chassis doesn't scream high-end construction.Ф The slick new A-panel design seems to have taken care of that.
