January 21st, 2010

Whilst buying a gaming rig may not be high on the priorities of most gamers right now, if it is then you can do worse than check out Maingear’s latest range, the F1X series. There are three offerings in the range, namely the F1X 750, 500 and 200, all of which feature ePhex, Maingear’s award winning design, space for six, yes six hard drives and a unique dual chamber design which splits out those hard drives from other heat-producing pieces of kit. Here are the hard numbers on the big boy F1X 750 of the series
