Maingear's Retro98 blends 90s aesthetics with 2026 power

Maingear’s Retro98 is a limited-run, beige and nostalgia-forward gaming desktop that hides modern hardware: up to a Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, 64GB RAM, and 4TB Gen5 SSD, with open-loop cooling available on the top-spec Alpha build. The base configuration starts around $2,499 (Intel Core Ultra 7 265K + RTX 5070), with prices climbing to $9,799 for the fully kitted model. Production is extremely limited (32 standard units and 6 Alpha units), and enthusiasts can improvise a similar look using the SilverStone FLP02 case if desired.

PC Makers and Modders Adapt to DDR5 Shortage with Custom and DIY RAM Solutions

Maingear has launched a BYO RAM program allowing customers to supply their own DDR5 memory for custom PCs amid a severe RAM shortage and skyrocketing prices, with the company testing and validating all memory to ensure compatibility. The ongoing crisis, driven by high demand and supply constraints, has led other PC builders to adopt similar no-RAM options, while scams involving DDR5 kits are also increasing.

"Intel's Maingear-approved Core i9-14900KS hits record-breaking 9.1GHz with liquid helium cooling"

Intel is collaborating with select PC makers to offer warranty-backed systems featuring delidded Core i9-14900KS processors, with Maingear being among the first partners to offer this option. Customers are expected to pay an additional $200 for the delidded edition on top of the steep Core i9-14900KS build option price. Overclocker der8auer commented on this move and expressed hope for "normal consumers" to access approved delidded chips for DIY projects. Intel's delidded warranty coverage is welcomed, and der8auer plans to upload a video concentrating on delidding the 14900KS sample(s) and checking the impacts on overclocking, performance, and temperatures.
