Sometimes, a PC manufacturer goes all-out with their designs. I’m not a huge PC gamer, but that doesn’t stop me from admiring the really amazing-looking PCs that have been made over the years. The fact that most of them are also absolute powerhouses is just the icing on the cake.
Well, it seems that Maingear has been itching to make some truly mighty PCs, and is now ready to share them with us. The company has revealed two PCs, the Apex Force and the Apex Rush, both of which are massive powerhouses that also look good.
Maingear reveals the Apex Force PC
First up, let’s check out the strongest PC of the two. The Apex Force has a ton going for it; the CPU and GPU sport dual 420mm ultra-thick radiators, each coming with three 140mm thick fans that “far surpass” the requirements for keeping the hardware cool. It also sports an elite air cooling design, with a 65mm bottom intake clearance to keep everything working under pressure. Plus, you can customise what color the cooling tubes are, which is always a plus.
