Desktop offering
Voodoo PC was most well known for its desktops. They experimented with liquid cooling partnering with CoolIT Systems. On June 10, 2008, the OMEN computer's complete redesign was revealed, showing a new brushed metal case and mounted 7" auxiliary screen.
New direction
Since the acquisition of Voodoo in 2006, the business has been re-developing the brand of Voodoo. This was culminated on 10 June 2008 with the revelation that Voodoo would focus on high-end, top spec computers rather than gaming machines. Voodoo would also continue with Voodoo DNA machines with HP. In 2009, HP used the Envy line as a high-performance computer without the Voodoo branding or Voodoo DNA. In 2014, HP relaunched the OMEN brand as a thin and light gaming laptop. Two years later, HP expanded the brand to desktops and monitors.
