In an interview with TechConnect Magazine ( www.tcmagazine.com ), Maingear CEO and founder Wallace Santos is quoted as saying "The SHIFT bucks the trend of plastic, bloated, commodity PCs.... The SHIFT Personal Supercomputer is positioned to take advantage of all the next generation technology in GPGPU computing to greatly enhance the customer experience."
According to the Maingear SHIFT product page, the system contains "The Most Powerful Hardware Known to Man."
Customers can customize the specs when ordering, choosing either an X58 or P55 motherboard, their preferred Core i7 processor, and up to 12GB of RAM. For the hard drive configuration, an 8TB HDD or an SSD RAID system is available. For video, up to two GeForce GTX 295 in Quad SLI, or two Radeon HD 5870 with CrossFireX can be selected. Other options include two optical drives, up to a 1.2kW power supply, an ATI TV Wonder 650 HD HDTV tuner, an EVGA Killer Xeno Pro network card, Microsoft® Windows 7 (Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate), and the amazing Auzen X-Fi Forte 7.1 PCI Express sound card.
The Maingear SHIFT is a Computer Shopper Editors Choice award winner. In a moment of self-conscious hyperbole, the Computer Shopper editor described it this way: "The Shift packs high-end components powerful enough to blow the doors off your house."
