Earlier this month Maingear rolled out its Shift personal supercomputer and it was pretty impressive. With the ATI HD 5970, going live today it’s natural for us to see some new gaming desktops that offer the card inside and the Shift is one of those machines.

Maingear is offering the Shift with both single HD 5970 and dual HD 5970 configurations. The dual 5970 configuration promises 10 teraflops of visual compute power. That is a lot of graphics oomph and should make mincemeat of your favorite video game.

Maingear just launched a new range of PCs dubbed Maingear Shift, which they are calling the “personal supercomputer that redefines computing performance, design and support”. The Maingear SHIFT uses the power of graphics processing units (GPU) and is designed to speed up everyday mundane tasks like video and photo editing.

The SHIFT features an aluminum case, steel skeleton and advanced cooling with bottom and top airflow and liquid cooling. Two models in the range are available, the SHIFT Intel P55, which comes with an Intel Core I7 800 series processor, Intel Kingsberg P55 Extreme Series motherboard,ATI Radon or NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards, up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, up to 6 hard drives, or 12 SSDs, and either a Blu-ray or DVD burner.

Today Maingear has launched the 18.4″ eX-L 18 gaming laptop complete with glowing tramp stamp. The dual GeForce GTX 280M setup should allow gamers to use the highest resolution and the largest image quality/filtering available in most modern games. This laptop isn’t thin, but on the other hand it will let you put three 2.5″ hard drives in a RAID configuration.

How awesome is that? For the $3000 price, here are some of the specs: Windows Vista Premium, (Up to) Intel Core 2 Extreme, Single or Dual GF GTX 280M, (Up to) 8GB RAM, DDR3 1333, 18.4″ Display, and DVD or Blu-Ray.

Maingear’s Axess HD Gamer aims to park hardcore PC gaming in your living room with a Core i7 processor, up to 12GB of DDR3 memory, 2x NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT cards in SLI, a Phantom Lapboard and robust media center capabilities.

The Axess HD can include a Blu-ray drive, 8-channel HD audio, WIndows Vista Home Premium and up to 4TB of hard drive storage or…dual 160GB SSDs. Connections include: DVI-D, VGA, HDMI and component out, dual gigabit ethernet, eight USB 2.0 ports, two 6-pin FireWire ports and eSATA.

One thing that most gaming PCs have in common is that they pack the highest performance parts they can get their hands on into a rig that sucks down power like a Hummer slurps fuel. With more people looking to go green, I guess it was inevitable that a green gaming rig was launched.

Maingear has announced the Pulse gaming PC, which it claims to be the world’s greenest gaming PC. The rig is based on the NVIDIA Ion platform and it is also the world’s first upgradable Ion PC. The small form factor machine can be upgraded from Ion graphics to an NVIDIA 9800 ECO video card that needs 40% less power than a typical 9800 GT requires.

When it comes to gaming desktop PCs they tend to be packed with the latest hardware and massive price tags. PC gamers looking for a high-end rig have some nice machines to choose from, assuming the economy has left them any extra scratch.

For those who have the money, Maingear has announced a new gaming PC called the ePhex X58 Elite. The machine draws part of its name from the Asus X58 mainboard that allows the use of multiple video cards from NVIDIA and ATI.

MAINGEAR has decided to bring back their top of the line gaming PC, the F131. The system offers the same functionality and high-class performance as it’s predecessor, with some new tricks as well. Now, you can crank it up a few notches with 3 ATI 4890 graphics cards in CrossFireX. How about up to 8TB of storage space thanks to its numerous SATA connectors?

It also features a new Domino ALC liquid cooling system provided by CoolIT Systems. Want the outside customized? No problem. MAINGEAR’s M.A.R.C laser etching tech will put in place a logo or image of your choosing.

This ultraportable laptop may not come from a huge company name, but the specs certainly caught our eye, while the coat of arms etching simultaneously repelled us.

The Maingear mX-L features a 13.3-inch LED-backlit display (1,280 x 800), a Core 2 Duo CPU, GMA X4500HD graphics, 8GB of DDR2 RAM, 160GB Intel X25-M SSD (or a 500GB HDD if you want to save some money), a dual-layer Blu-ray reader, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, and VGA output. It also sports three USB 2.0 sockets and a custom etched top. The unit weighs just 4.4 pounds and starts at $1,099.99. You’ll also get a four-cell Li-ion that is sure to be changed often.

Maingear has introduced their latest addition of high performance luxury computer. The Prelude 2 3D gaming workstation. It will come with an NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision setup, 22″ SyncMaster 2233RZ display and an Intel Core i7 processor.

Prices start at $1,999, but once you have it configured exactly how you want it, it will cost much more. More detailed specs are elusive at the moment, but I’m sure we’ve elicited enough drool from your open mouth already.
