Ad: Canon Puts Efficiency On Press

CNET Editors' Choice

Maingear F131 (Core i7 3770K, May 2012)

Maingear F131 (Core i7 3770K, May 2012)

The good: The Maingear F131 comes in an attractive, surprisingly roomy chassis, and it posted some of the fastest gaming performance to grace CNET Labs.

The bad: The $3,000 price tag puts this desktop out of reach for all but the most enthusiastic PC gamers.

The bottom line: If you're in the market for a $3,000 gaming PC, the attractive, blazing fast Maingear F131 should be first on your list.
