Here at BlitWise Productions, we understand the principle of function over form. But if something can be functional, and look cool, then why the heck not? Here's some pictures of our latest acquisition: one of our development computers was specially modded by Red Barn (http://www.redbarncomputers.com) to reflect a slightly more...interesting look. Huge thanks go out to the good folks at Red Barn Computers.

I'm sorry, Dave, I can't allow you to do that.

Our proud logo. We put it on everything. I have a BlitWise tattoo, and no, you can't ask where it is.

It is indeed a cool looking computer... wish I was using it. Matt, you lucky dog!

We just installed Ubuntu Linux on it, so it ought to be the ultimate Blender, Gimp, Inkscape system. :)

That's a rather personal question to ask, you know. Anyway...there's medicine for that nowadays.

Amazingly enough, floppy drives are still quite handy for PC's. We ought to put a Catweasel controller card in there so we can output Amiga 880k floppy disks directly and play SID tunes with a real C64 SID chip. I just wish that WinUAE had support for reading and writing directly to Amiga floppies through the Catweasel controller. Amiga forever! :)

Very cool indeed, i mainly like the logo, I honestly think that the BlitWise logo is the nicest/coolest logo i've ever seen, simple, yet eye pleasing :). May i ask what it has? Im talking about the processor, memory, mhz, and harddrive(s)? I always wondered what you guys used!

Athlon 64 2x 3800+
