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.
