Maingear Shift included 3.33GHz Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Edition processor is the fastest processor you can buy, and an unobtrusive liquid cooling system helps Maingear overclock it all the way to 4.0GHz. Coupled with six gigabytes of DDR3-2000 memory and two Intel X25-M 80GB solid-state drives in a boot-drive RAID configuration and 2TB Western Digital Caviar Black drive for storage,. As you might expect, the tri-CrossFire graphics setup delivers a punishing blow as well. What you’re really paying for is this system’s graphics—three single-GPU XFX Radeon HD 5870 graphics cards delivering eye-popping CrossFire performance that’s currently unmatched by any system
The benefit of this unique layout is that, according to Maingear, it works with the tendency of hot air to rise, improving thermal dissipation from the graphics card and CPU. With no reasonable way to measure the flow of hot air from the Shift vs. one of its competitors, we have only Maingear's word that rotating the motherboard imparts a significant cooling benefit. Whether it has a large or small impact on thermal management, Maingear's unique design doesn't seem to do any harm, and by putting the inputs on the top of the system Maingear has made it easier to connect your various peripherals if you keep your PC on the floor.
