MainGear introduces F1X gaming desktop series
The flagship system carries over $5,000 worth of hardware, including an Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition, 12GB of DDR3 1333MHz RAM, dual AMD Radeon HD 5870 GPUs, a second-gen 80GB Intel X25-M, a 1.5TB WD Green, DVD and Blu-ray burners, 7.1 channel HD audio, a 910W PC Power and Cooling PSU and more.
Five grand is a bit steep for a gaming rig, but there are some cheaper -- albeit still pricey -- options. The F1X 500 and F1X 200 are $3,100 and $2,250, respectively. Although each machine is appropriately scaled down from the F1X 750, you're still going to pay more than if you just selected the hardware and assembled it yourself -- which doesn't include MainGear's "Angelic Service", of course.

Where's the case that was shown at CES in the Fermi rig? Supposed top-of-the-line system housed in a TJ10- A byword for cable management nightmare and a full tower that can only use a 120.2 radiator maximum if you want to go W/C- which would a likely scenario if you're prepared to drop serious funds into the highest specced i7. |

I just specked out a Black Mamba system from cyberpowerpc with higher specs (2 Intel 80Gb in raid 0, 2TB harddrive, 975 overclocked to 4Ghz, Corsair Dominator memory overclocked 20% as well). I got a price tag of $4588 on this system. So in short, i think their pricing is a bit high. |

MainGear's prices are a bit higher, but their service and reputation is generally better than iBuyPower and CyberPower. That goes a long way for a person who doesn't want to, or otherwise cannot build their own system. |

I buy that as I end up supporting most of my families computers anyway ;-) But for someone who knows what they are doing or is comparing building a system on their own with purchasing one pre-built the price makes a bigger difference. |
