Maingear launches beautiful gaming PCs with even sleeker motherboard cable management
Maingear has announced its latest line of gaming PCs, which not only have a beautiful aesthetic, but are also truly unique: hidden motherboard cables.
The Zero series not only has one of the cleanest designs I’ve ever seen best gaming pcs, but it also uses MG-RC (Maingear Rear Connection) technology. It combines a stunning chassis interior with incredible cable management, but also promotes optimal airflow and component upgrades that are much easier to make.
Zero series gaming PCs are built with MSI’s MAG Pano M100 PZ MATX chassis, which are intended for MG-RC equipped motherboards. They are also equipped with MSI Project Zero motherboards with MG-RC rear connectors. This allows the motherboard’s wired connections to slide to the back/bottom, providing a cable-free appearance on the inside of the PC case.
The starting price is $1,399 (about £1,095 / AU$2,115), which is quite affordable and could even be listed as one of the best budget gaming pcs.
Maingear is on to something
It’s interesting how we started the Zero series now as the Zero Limited Edition gaming PC. This original series only had a total of 50 copies, which is an incredibly low number and clearly sold out quickly enough to warrant a more permanent product.
The MSI B760M Project Zero motherboard was combined with the MSI MAG Pano M1000 PZ White chassis, making for a particularly striking combination. And just like the current Zero series, this limited edition version also uses MG-RC with great success.
While it’s a bit complicated now, hopefully the concept of moving the motherboard cables and other components sticks. Cable management is something that gamers always struggle with, especially with the way components are built into the chassis in the first place.
Something as simple as running cables through the back instead of the front is absolutely amazing in how simple yet effective it is. If more manufacturers could deliver similar performance, gaming PC design would change for the better.
