MAINGEAR SHIFT Super Stock Custom Gaming PC Channels The Hot-Rod Spirit
MAINGEAR has never exactly shied away from over-specifying its gaming PCs, but now the company is hoping to pull in some custom attention with their new Super Stock options. Available on the MAINGEAR SHIFT, the new customizations will include overclocking the Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition processor up to 4.5GHz, together with specifying a 3-way SLI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 array with a total of 4.5GB of GDDR5 video memory.
There's also liquid cooling, which can be paired with acoustic dampening if it's still not quite quiet enough for you, and then there are various car-finish hand painted case color options (which you can see in the gallery below). They can be matched with interior LED lighting, if that's to your taste.
The MAINGEAR SHIFT kicks off at $2,299, but as you might expect you can easily push that far, far higher by ticking a handful of options boxes. For instance, upgrading to the i7-980X Extreme adds $991.
