Even though this is a stupid topic-- anybody can build a "gaming" PC. Question is for corporations, 'Can we build a gaming PC profitably?'
In the case of HP the answer is likely no. They have enough trouble remaining profitable as it is-- as do other OEM PC builders. People want $299 PC's, and you can't put decent hardware in a box and sell it for that amount. The people willing to spend $1,000+ for a PC are not as common. People who want a gaming machine are either going to build it themselves or buy an off-the-shelf system and hop it up.
