Having reported earlier today about the Maingear Pulse Gaming PC we felt obliged to follow up with news concerning another Maingear PC aimed, not at the ‘green gamer’ (as is the aforementioned Pulse) but at the extreme gamer looking for maximum power at the expense of a somewhat greater carbon footprint – namely the Maingear wPhexX58 Elite Gaming PC.

The Maingear wPhexX58 Elite Gaming PC fits very much into the high-end element of the gaming PC market with a range of powerhouse CPUs under the hood taking in a 3.2GHz Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Edition down to a 2.66GHz Core i7 920 whilst packing the Intel X58/ICH10R chipset, either single or dual graphics cards – including 2x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 or 2x ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 GPU options – and up to a colossal 12GB of Triple Channel DDR3 memory spread across no less than 6 dedicated DIMM slots.

Other notable optional features of the Maingear wPhexX58 Elite Gaming PC include up to 1TB HDD or dual Raid 0 hard drives totalling 2TB storage capacity and Sound Blaster X-Fi High Definition Surround Sound Audio whilst, from a connectivity perspective, you’re looking at 8 high spped USB 2.0 ports, SATA and IEEE 1394b (powered) ports.

Powered by a 1000 watt multi GPU approved PSU (ensuring that, as alluded to above, this gaming rig is far from eco-friendly) the Maingear wPhexX58 Elite Gaming PC, as you’d probably gathered, doesn’t come cheap with prices starting from $5,660.
