MAINGEAR, the leader in premium-quality, high-performance gaming PCs, just dropped the curtain on its new MAINGEAR ZERO Limited Edition. More than a seriously powerful gaming PC; it's a revolution in gaming PC aesthetics and performance. Limited to just 50 units, gamers will need to act fast. At the heart of this marvel is MAINGEAR's patented MG-RC (MAINGEAR Rear Connection) spec- a revolutionary approach to how cables are managed. MG-RC elegantly hides unsightly cables by moving their connection points to the rear/underside of the motherboard. The benefits afforded by this spec include reduced air turbulence for better cooling, simplified cable management for easier upgrades, and a purely jaw-dropping overall appearance.

"The MAINGEAR ZERO drop showcases our commitment to pushing the boundaries of gaming PC design and performance," said Wallace Santos, CEO at MAINGEAR. "ZERO represents an uncompromising balance of cutting-edge hardware, MG-RC cable management, and the ever-growing push for a clean and minimalist design."



The MAINGEAR ZERO drop, developed in collaboration with MSI, is a visual stunner. At its foundation, the ZERO sports the MSI B760M Project Zero motherboard and is housed in the sleek MSI MAG Pano M1000 PZ White chassis. But what makes it truly stand out is the magic of MG-RC. With this setup, there are no visible motherboard cables, which means this setup is not just about raw performance, which it delivers in spades, - but is also about delivering an unparalleled appearance.

The ZERO drops on January 24, 2024, at maingear.com/drops. We're talking limited supplies, and if history is any indication, they'll be gone FAST!

Like all MAINGEAR gaming PCs, every component is handpicked and thoroughly tested for maximum compatibility, reliability, and performance. All MAINGEAR PCs are hand-built by MAINGEAR builders in Warren, New Jersey, and undergo rigorous testing and quality assurance checks to uphold MAINGEAR's unparalleled dedication to excellence. Standing behind their products, every MAINGEAR PC is backed by a standard one-year warranty (upgradable to three years) and lifetime access to MAINGEAR's award-winning technical support.

ZERO Drop Specs:
  • MSI Collaboration: ZERO is equipped with the new MSI B760M Project Zero motherboard and MSI MAG Pano M1000 PZ White chassis; both engineered to the MG-RC spec.
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-14700K, offering 20 cores and 28 threads

  • Ample Storage: 2 TB T-Force A44 Pro Gen 4 M.2 NVMe SSD
  • Power Supply: 850 W MSI MAG A850GL
  • Operating System: Windows 11 Home

VR HMD Samsung Oddyssey, not that I'd plug it into this though....

Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
Not pictured:
The absolute rats nest of cables spewing out the back for power, display, keyboard, mouse, and any other things plugged into the PC.

Don't get me wrong, it looks nice inside but you'll never fully escape cables. Until the whole market moves this way you're stuck with a very limited selection of motherboards and cases, which - as the captive audience - you are expected to pay a premium for now and also later down the line if this reversed-board design even survives the market.

The GPU cable is ruining the build, and maybe it would have been cleaner with an Air cooling solution ?
Not convinced for this one ...

I find it hilarious that they couldn't at least customize the case so that the GPU cable directly comes out from the shroud under the pin sockets. They could have had it look very nice and symmetrical, especially for a limited custom run, but you have this otherwise nice-looking case now visually marred by that one GPU cable coming out and plugging in at an angle.

Agreed on both counts, and too bad they can't find a way to reroute the coolant hoses to come up thru the back of the mobo to the block also, which would make it a 100% clean & lean computin machine :D
