SHIFT

MAINGEAR announced on Thursday that its SHIFT and F131 desktop computers are now available with the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 graphics card, the most powerful and quietest DirectX 11 dual graphics card out today.

The GTX 590 features dual 512-core GTX 500 GPUs and a custom vapor chamber cooler which complements the SHIFT's unique vertical heat dissipation technology in both performance and design. The GTX 590 also features three dual-link DVI ports to connect to three monitors so you can fully utilize Nvidia's Surround solution from a single graphics card to play your favorite games at ultra-wide resolutions like 5760x1880. And just so you don't have to worry about skimping on the other perks, all the premium GTX gaming technologies are included, such as NVIDIA 3D Vision, PhysX, and Quad SLI, for the ultimate in PC gaming.Read more

MAINGEAR just announced the Shift, what they call "the everyday supercomputer." This supercomputer can speed up everyday tasks like photo and video editing, transcoding videos for portable media devices, and upscaling standard definition video, the company said.

Shift's aluminum housing design includes expansion slots, full eATX motherboard support, full sized 5.25" optical drives, multiple SATA hard drive configurations, and up to 2 2.5" HDD in each 3.5" HDD Drive bay. And it takes a different approach to cooling with bottom to top airflow, aggressive liquid cooling, and a 90 degree rotation of the motherboard.

Another quality that sets MAINGEAR apart is their customer support. If you have any problems with your Shift computer, you are able to talk directly to the builder that assembled your system. You can also get support through an internal remote-desktop setup, as well as on-site support should the situation need it.Read more
