https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/6/17202550/maingear-f131-gaming-pc-liquid-cooled-desktop-specs-price >When I first saw the Maingear F131 with my own eyes, I knew it was unlike any gaming desktop I had ever built or seen on display. This particular configuration I’ve been using costs nearly $8,000, which is well out of the price range of most PC gamers, but it’s mostly a showcase for the case and Maingear’s unique open-loop cooling system called APEX. That system can be added to far more affordable configurations (starting at $1,920 for an Intel chipset or $1,699 for AMD’s Ryzen) for $300. >Those prices look even more appealing when you consider the fact that the popularity of cryptocurrency mining has inflated GPU prices — which makes it cheaper to buy a gaming desktop than it is to build your own, sadly.
