Maingear intros Vybe PC with AMD's six-core processors

If you're dying to get your mitts on a machine powered by one of AMD's new six-core processors but can't be bothered to build your own rig, Maingear might have something up your alley. The boutique PC maker has announced its "limited edition" Vybe gaming system, which can be equipped with the Phenom II X6 1055T or 1090T.

The limited edition Vybe is currently available through Maingear's website in two base configurations: one for $999, another for $1,299. The cheaper unit is outfitted with a Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8GHz, a Radeon HD 5670, 4GB of DDR3 1333MHz RAM, 640GB of storage, a DVD burner, and 802.11 Wi-Fi. The pricier setup upgrades that to a 3.2GHz Phenom II X6 1090T, a Radeon HD 5830, and 6GB of RAM.


Both can also be configured with a Radeon HD 5850, 5870, and dual 5670s, 5770s, or 5850s, as much as 8GB of RAM, up to two 2TB mechanical drives or 256GB solid-state drives, a Blu-ray reader or writer, as well as Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate x64. Systems ordered today have an estimated shipping date of May 11 and are backed by a one-year warranty.
