MAINGEAR Updates SHIFT Everday Super Computer

Union,
New Jersey – March 16, 2010 – MAINGEAR Computers,
award-winning builders of custom computers for PC gamers and
enthusiasts, announces a hardware refresh for the SHIFT everyday
supercomputer.  The revamped hardware is highlighted by Intel’s Core i7
980X 6 core, hyperthreaded 3.33GHz processor, giving enthusiasts the
ability to run up to an astonishing 12 threads in parallel enabling your
PC to execute multiple CPU intensive tasks at once.  SHIFT also now
boasts scorching fast SATA 6G that enables Crucial's new RealSSD C300 to
reach speeds of 335 MB/s on sustained reads, which is now also
available on the SHIFT. 

MAINGEAR’s implementation of USB 3.0
further solidifies SHIFT’s high performance prowess allowing newer flash
drives and external SSDs to really fly at speeds up to 5Gbps.  To
ensure the new state-of-the-art hardware doesn’t come at the cost of
added decibels, MAINGEAR integrated AcoustiPack sound dampening that
keeps the system whisper quiet no matter what’s going on under the
hood.  In their review
on March 11th, PC Mag awarded this new SHIFT their coveted Editors'
Choice award.

"The new Intel Core i7 980X is the fastest,
smartest Desktop PC microprocessor on the planet, and it only makes
sense that it's prominently featured in the masterfully hand crafted
MAINGEAR SHIFT,” said CJ Bruno, VP, GM Intel Americas.  "The MAINGEAR
SHIFT, featuring an overclocked Intel Core i7 980X, was recognized by PC
Magazine as one of the fastest gaming PCs on the market today and
awarded their Editors Choice.”

 “Our all new 2010 SHIFT is taking
the pole position in the high performance consumer desktop market,”
said Wallace Santos, CEO and Founder of MAINGEAR.  “By intelligently
integrating best-of-breed hardware and supporting it with top-tier,
in-house technical support by the same guys who built your system, we're
delivering the best PC experience money can buy.”

MAINGEAR’s
SHIFT rethinks the status quo of the high end PC industry with rigs that
often feature an array of plastic, bling, and commoditized components
and offers every day supercomputing in a sophisticated design with
sublime, elegant lines, unmatched performance, optimal airflow, and
limitless upgradeability.  By harnessing the power of the graphics
processing unit (GPU), the SHIFT can speed up everyday tasks like photo
and video editing, transcoding videos for portable media devices, and
upscaling standard definition video.
