Maingear are mostly known for high end gaming PCs and one-off custom models that demonstrate potential future products. Their latest build, the F131 1ofOne, is a high-octane gaming rig with an integrated Nintendo Switch dock. This lets you interface a Switch directly into a capture card, for seamless streaming and gameplay recording.
The F131 also includes an APEX SPECTRUM software controllable RGB liquid cooling system, that changes color dynamically based on gameplay and CPU load levels. Naturally the F131 and its accompanying Switch are decked out in a very Mario-esque automotive paint job. The press release doesn't include a potential price point--this is a custom proof of concept build made for Intel's Extreme Rig Challenge after all, after all--but if you want a closer look at the specs, check the full release after the break.
