Maingear (stylized as MAINGEAR) is an American privately held boutique computer manufacturer headquartered in Warren, New Jersey.[1] Maingear specializes in custom desktops, gaming computers, custom laptops, and workstations which are built, designed, and supported in the United States.
History
Maingear was founded in 2002 when Wallace Santos, founder and CEO, began building high-performance computers with a focus on customer service and luxury quality. Much of his work is inspired by the automotive industry.[citation needed]
It is an innovative high performance PC system builder that offers custom desktops, custom built laptops, pc workstations, small form factor PCs, media.
Craftsmanship
All units are assembled, configured, and tested in the USA. Customization is a huge factor in Maingear computers from custom wiring, water-cooling, custom painting and more. The components are carefully analyzed by their R&D Department to cooperate efficiently with each other. Notable companies like Coca-Cola have partnered with Maingear for custom products.[2]
A notable desktop designed by HP and made by Maingear is the OMEN X. Forbes stated that “HP was wise to select Maingear as their partner in this space, because they are one of the few boutique builders that has a solid product and process in place.”[3] Coca-Cola has also partnered with Maingear for a custom showcase gaming PC to highlight Coca-Cola’s E-Sports division.
Partnerships
In 2016, Razer Inc. collaborated with Maingear to release the R1 Razer Edition.[4]
Maingear also partnered with HP inc. to release a custom tuned version of their Omen X. This gaming desktop is already offered by HP although Maingear offers advanced specifications for the desktop.[5]
The E-Sports betting platform, Unikrn, announced it will be working with Maingear to “change the world of gaming”. Specific products or services offered by both companies in this joint venture have not yet been announced.
