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.
NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE

The SHIFT’s vertical cooling design allows us to cool multiple, high-heat graphics cards with ease and without requiring expensive watercooling. Your GPUs will run cooler, quieter, and last longer than in a chassis without proper airflow.
PROCESS FASTER THAN EVER BEFORE

Featuring blistering performance from Intel's Core i7 and Xeon processors, there is literally no computing task that cannot be tackled by the Shift. Featuring advanced technologies such as HyperThreading, support for integrated dual- and triple-channel memory controllers, and PCI-Express 2.0 expansion, the Shift throws everything but the kitchen sink into an overclockable stack of raw computational power.

Looks are just as important

Add in the incredible GPU processing power of multiple NVIDIA and ATI consumer and professional graphics cards and you've got the building blocks for a personal supercomputer. Today's GPUs are powerhouses and contain hundreds of individual stream processors for massive parallel computing. Everything from video transcoding, encoding, and editing get a speed boost from stream processing. But there's plenty of room for play, too. With NVIDIA, leverage CUDA technology to enjoy gaming with PhysX - bringing realistic physics simulation to games. And 3D Vision - exclusive technology that throws you right into the middle of the game. Pick an AMD ATI Radeon HD 5000 series graphics card and you have access to the most eye candy with DirectX 11, and ATI EyeFinity technology delivers the ultimate in surround-vision with support for multi-monitor gaming.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO RUN OUT OF SPACE ANYTIME SOON

SSDs - solid state drives - the latest advancement in hard drive technology. Your PC is only as fast as its slowest component - and with SSDs you're no longer facing an HDD bottleneck. With no moving parts, SSDs are a densely packed collection of memory modules, with capacity into the hundreds of gigabytes. Absolutely silent. They run cool, and last long. And you can put 12 of them in the Shift. No kidding.
SPEED IS EVERYTHING

In MAINGEAR’s quest to eliminate all performance bottlenecks, it’s important that we partner with a memory company capable of keeping up with our overclocks and performance tweaks. Enter Corsair Memory, an award-winning producer of high performance custom memory modules. With memory speeds up to 2133MHz and beyond, and extremely low latencies, we’ll squeeze out every last bit of performance available by using Corsair Memory.

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. All MAINGEAR systems 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 and advertisments.
