Gothic Game Machine, Datamancer’s Archbishop ComputerStumble This


Datamancer has put his considerable making talent to work designing what has to be one of the more interesting PC cases I have seen in a long time. The design is overdone in the best possible way, there is a whole lot of stained glass, wood and brass.

The keyboard is typical Datamancer keyboard fare, it looks very well done, but perhaps the most interesting aspect of the Archbishop is the input system. A Wacom tablet has been built into an antique book, which has also been used to house a mouse and the pen for the tablet.

The Archbishop Computer is designed to be a gaming PC, however, the specs which you can see below are a little underwhelming:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
Processor Main Features : 64 bit Dual Core Processor
Cache Per Processor : 2 x 512KB L2 Cache
Memory : 2GB DDR2 800 (upgradable to 8G)
Hard Drive : 250GB SATA
Optical Drive: 20X DL DVD+/-RW Drive
Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS 512MB Video Card
Audio : ALC883 High Definition Audio CODEC
Ethernet : Built-in GB Ethernet LAN
Power Supply : 420 Watt Power Supply
Operating System : Windows Vista Home Premium
Software Included : MS Office 2007 [60-Day Trial]
Motherboard : ASUS M2A-VM Mainboard
LCD : 20″ Widescreen LG LCD

As a gamer, this machine isn’t really going to cut it for me, but stick an 8800GTX in this (or better) and add another couple of GB of RAM and you might bet me interested. [Datamancer via New Launches]
