Marketed to the elite gamer and indulgent enthusiast, MAINGEAR PC today announced the F131 gaming desktop at CES 2018 in Las Vegas. Packed into a thin case that resembles a console in some regards, the F131 houses a custom cooling system and, depending on the build you choose, some of the best (and most expensive) parts on the planet.
Including options for dual SLI graphics cards, up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM, multiple HDD and SDD configurations, and much more, the F131 “can crush anything you throw at it,” according to MAINGEAR. If you visit the F131 build page, you’ll find various pre-builds and custom variations that range from $1,785 to $4,775 and beyond.

But one of the main draws of the F131 isn’t necessarily its customizability but, presumably, its APEX ICS integrated cooling system. And as any PC gamer knows, cooling is one of the most important things to get right about any build. Made in concert with Bitspower, the F131’s APEX ICS cooling system features “failsafe dual pumps, pressure regulated parallel cooling, flow-rate and temperature sensing, and a high capacity reservoir”, according to MAINGEAR. The company also says that the F131 rig features both soft tube and hard tube cooling.
Additionally, the F131’s slim case lets you fully customize the outside of the rig with custom artwork uploaded to the MAINGEAR website, or choose from the company’s pre-developed designs. Featuring the advanced MARC II painting process, there appear to be nearly countless customization options for the F131.
