Titan X is finally here, and as our own Marco Chiappetta noted in his
in-depth review, the graphics card is freakin’ fast (and overclockable, to boot). You can head out now to pick up an NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan X for your rig – or you can lay down some extra cash for a custom build from a boutique PC maker. With the news embargo safely behind them, Maingear, Origin PC, and others have been showing off systems that can be customized with Titan X.
Maingear X-CUBEs“Maingear prides itself in offering the best in gaming and the NVIDIA
Titan X is the next generation video card for gamers who demand an unreal visual experience,” said Maingear CEO Wallace Santos in a statement. “Similar to Maingear’s gaming units, the Titan X combines the highest-grade components, meticulous craftsmanship, and superb technology.”
Maingear is offering the Titan X as an option for any of its existing desktop PC models, including the ultra-slim DRIFT it recently released. How many you can pack into the system depends on the model; the
SHIFT supports up to three Titan X cards for a mere $3,850 bump in price.
Origin is also offering Titan X cards in its GENESIS, MILLENIUM, and CHRONOS
desktops as of today. The builder is touting custom cooling and GPU overclocking to get those Titans humming.
Origin MilleniumCustom-built systems aren’t for everyone, but it’s hard to be a hardware enthusiast and not at least admire some of these rigs. We’ll have to see how they handle with GTX Titan X cards inside.

Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote

Smart Computing Magazine. A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for
HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
