Building a PC by hand holds a special charm, but not everyone has the time or expertise to do so. Maingear, a seasoned custom PC maker, understands the desires of the PC gaming community. Their MG-1 Legendary desktop impresses with customizability, top-notch components, and vibrant RGB lighting. The MG-1 I received came with a custom front panel, a $100 extra, featuring a military-style design and Gizmodo’s logo. The desktop is a mid-size case that fits easily on a desktop or underneath, with customizable RGB lighting that adds flair. The MG-1 is a solid build capable of handling any game you throw at it, boasting excellent build quality and cable management. However, the LED light strips may feel too DIY for a professional build. The prebuilt system ensures all parts work together seamlessly, providing convenience at a cost. The base model starts at $2,700, offering upgradability and compatibility with AMD’s Ryzen CPUs. The MG-1’s performance is impressive, delivering high-quality gaming at 4K resolution with smooth frame rates. The Intel Core i9-14900K and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 Super provide ample power for demanding games. Overall, the Maingear MG-1 Legendary is a sleek and powerful PC that offers customization options and solid performance for gaming enthusiasts.
