You'll find dual-GPU graphics cards inside these tiny but mighty computers

High-end PCs needn't necessarily come in large, bulky cases. Miniature systems are perfectly capable of integrating overpowered hardware as well. Hardware makers have made sure of it.

Case in point, Origin PC has formally launched the 4K gaming-ready Battlebox systems, all of them featuring one or two GeForce GTX Titan Z graphics cards.

And since each Titan-Z is basically a dual-GPU setup all on its own, that's the equivalent of two and four add-in boards, respectively.

You can find the GeForce GTX Titan-Z in the Genesis Z, Millennnium Z, and Chronos Z systems.

Chronos Z is the “weakest,” with a single video card and an optional ASUS 28-inch PB287Q 4K UHD LED Monitor.

Millennium Z has a dual-GTX Titan-Z option (two for the price of one) and the same monitor, again optional.

Finally, the Genesis-Z sports the same bundle options as above, but can be shipped with Dual ORIGIN CRYOGENIC Liquid-Cooled NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Z too (again, two for the price of one).

The starting price is of slightly below $4,000 / €2,990 in all cases. Quite a bit of cash, but it's not like gaming systems, even LAN Party PCs, are ever expected to cost a pittance. They are overpowered and, thus, expensive as sin.
