During CES, graphics card maker BFG Technologies announced they were launching a new line of ultra-expensive gaming PCs. This week, the company began to take orders for the Phobos PC line on the product's official web site.

As we have reported before the Phobos line begins at $3,000 and in addition to having some high end PC parts inside the products have some unique features such as a 7 inch LCD touch screen where you can monitor your PCs performance and actually turn the PC one. It also has what they are calling a Concierge Service where a real live person comes and sets up your PC for you and then can come back in six months to make sure your PC is running smoothly.

Voodoo PC founder Rahul Sood may believe that the era of the highly expensive gaming PC is dead but apparently BFG Technologies didn't get that memo. The company, best known for their overclocked PC video graphics cards, announced their plans to launch their Phobos gaming PC line. The line will officially launch on January 8 on the company's official web site.

While the Phobos PCs can be custom-configured, the company is also offering pre-built PCs that start at "just" $3,000. In addition to features such as an 8 inch LCD touch-screen that offers up stats and performance numbers about your system, BFG is also offering what they are calling a complientary Concierge Service that includes in-home installation and a maintainence follow-up visit six months after the PC is purchased. Of course you can expect high-end hardware to be available inside including two upcoming BFG Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 graphics cards and a separate GeForce GTX 285 card for PhysX hardware support.
