Even though the high-end gaming PC is supposed to be an endangered species, a number of companies are still going old school and making PCs that cater to that particular audience. A number of former Alienware team members have decided to go out on their own and form their own company, Origin.

The Miami-based company has just announced their first products, the Genesis desktop and the EON18 notebook. In addition to offering high end componants and overclocking (they will even let you pick whatever case design you want) Origin also provides for custom paint jobs for both their desktop and notebook model. The big question: can this new company compete with all of the other gaming PC vendors already out there?
