Large, multi-national computer manufacturers have commoditized the PC market by subsidizing their products with the installation of intrusive, third party software. They are paid to do this. This software bogs down your system and prevents it from running at its highest potential. It also has the tendency to make your system unstable or may conflict with software you wish to install. A MAINGEAR Everyday Supercomputer eschews these tactics as we believe that YOU are the customer, not a third party software provider. We build purebred PCs designed for performance and reliability, not billboards better suited to advertising.
Maingear SHIFT – Desktop Images & Product Messaging

Radically Redesigned.
SHIFT uses the natural behavior of hot air as an advantage – by rotating the internal components of the PC so that all heat is radiated through the top vents and cool air is drawn in from the bottom, SHIFT can harness the most powerful hardware on the planet with ease. Heat is the enemy of electronic components, and hot-running components are more prone to failure. Large, slow moving fans assist with the airflow and are virtually silent, and also feature removable, washable air filters. Generous, inconspicuous ventilation grates and inlets allow for ample airflow without taking away from the design aesthetics of the SHIFT chassis.

Maximum Vertical Airflow.
All peripheral connections for your monitors, keyboard, mouse, and speakers are made at the top of the SHIFT, and a cover is in place to protect and conceal them. The cover is machined with a grill to allow the hot air exhaust to escape the system. This completes the SHIFT's 90 degree design, ultimately making the SHIFT a visually stunning piece of hardware, and conveys a look unlike any other PC on the market.

Fully Accessible.
Top panel access to USB, Firewire, audio, and multimedia memory cards are integrated into a pop-up panel that is accessed with a press of the finger.

Beautiful Design.
SHIFT is built with strength and style in mind. That means a sublime blend of a steel skeleton for strength (up to 40% stronger than 100% aluminum enclosures), and beautiful brushed aluminum exterior to reduce weight and increase heat dissipation. SHIFT has confident yet refined lines, and exudes power and authority. This is the Personal Super computer, after all.

Server-grade Storage.
Maximum storage is delivered through 6 removable, user-serviceable internal drive bays. Each bay can hold either a 3.5" SATA drive, or two 2.5"SSD drives, for up to 12 HDDs, all cooled using the same vertical airflow design as the rest of the chassis. Each drive cage mount has a built-in SATA power and data adapter for ease of upgradeability. The SHIFT has all the power, cooling, and space you need whether you're a gamer, a videographer, or just someone who can't let go of all their digital stuff.
