Maingear Adopts NVIDIA's "Power Of 3" Configuration On Select Gaming PCs

Hardcore PC enthusiasts may argue that "building your own" gaming rig is the only real way to go, but for those without enough spare time/know how or the patience to deal with their own troubles in the future, there's Maingear. A lesser-known PC maker compared to the likes of HP/Dell, this outfit is notorious for keeping up with technological changes in CPUs and GPUs and always providing the latest and greatest for those with the cash.

The company's latest lineup is the 'Power of 3,' which is comprised of the X-Cube, Prelude 2, and F131 systems. All of 'em can be equipped with NVIDIA GeForce graphics, an Intel Core i7 CPU and the P55 chipset, which means the whole lot is more than ready to do battle with whatever title you throw at it. The whole 'Power of 3' thing is actually an NVIDIA idea, which configures a machine for "extreme performance" by enabling synergy between the motherboard, GPU (PhysX), CUDA, an OpenCL processor and DVD upscaling.

All three of these systems are available now, and while they start at just $1239, you can add parts until your heart is content and your wallet is screaming 'Uncle!'
