Maingear Updates SHIFT

SHIFT is now configurable with Intel’s 6 core Core i7 980X processor, SATA 6Gb, and USB 3.0.
MAINGEAR Computers announced 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 12 threads in parallel enabling your PC to execute multiple CPU intensive tasks at once, the company says.

SHIFT also now boasts 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 is designed to “solidify SHIFT’s high performance prowess allowing newer flash drives and external SSDs to really fly at speeds up to 5Gbps.” To ensure the new shardware doesn’t come at the cost of added decibels, MAINGEAR integrated AcoustiPack sound dampening designed to keep the system whisper quiet no matter what’s going on under the hood.

Pricing & Availability
Consumers can purchase the Shift at MAINGEAR’s Web site www.maingear.com.

The base price for the Shift is $1,799 and comes with MAINGEAR’s premium Lifetime Labor and Phone Support with 2 year hardware warranty and is backed by the best in-house support team in the country.
