14 DAY TRIAL // BitFenix' Shinobi case made quite a name for itself in the short while since it's been available, and now Maingear has announced that it has selected this chassis to house its high-performance Vybe gaming desktop.
The Maingear Vybe is built around Intel's Sandy Bridge processors and use either P67 or Z68 motherboards as well as graphics cards from Nvidia.
Right now, Maingear's lineup includes three pre-configured models known as the S, SE and SS, the first one of these starting at $949 (about 697 Euro).
For this much money users will get an Intel Core i5-2310 processor overclocked to 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo), which is seconded by 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 1TB hard drive and an Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 graphics card.
The Vybe S is the only system of the three that can't be customized by its users, but ships the same day as the order is placed, so this is a good option for those of you that are in a hurry to start gaming.
Moving to the two other Vybe desktops available from Maingear, these also come factory overclocked, the Vybe SE running an Intel Core i5-2500 processor with a base clock of 3.7GHz, while the Core i7-2600K installed inside the Vybe SS comes overclocked to more than 4.4GHz.
In addition to the fast Intel processors, the Vybe SS also offers liquid cooling and an mSATA SSD to take advantage of Intel’s Smart Response Technology.
"We're thrilled to be working with Maingear on their Vybe lineup, which offers arguably the best price/performance ratio among tailor-made systems," said David Jarlestedt, BitFenix Product Manager.
"By offering 3 different color options, maingear's Vybe offers users another great way to further personalize their rig," concluded the company's rep.
The BitFenix Shinobi equipped Maingear Vybe desktops are available as we speak from the company's website.
