Maingear introduces the new R1 Razer Edition tower PC

Razer and Maingear has teamed up to bring a new line of ridiculously overpriced PC desktop builds for gamers who do not want to be bothered with technical details but have cash to burn.

Maingear came up with the R1 Razer Edition which is a tower PC that is full of customized details from the custom loop liquid cooling setup down to the stickers and LED lights inside the case. The highlighted rig in the video trailer is obviously green for Razer's brand and it does look astonishing to the untrained eye.

Interested buyers should at least have $999 to get the R1 Razer Edition base model which includes just a GTX 1060 and an Intel Core 3.2GHz i5 processor with 8GB of RAM, Engadget has learned. Customers can still customize their rig to fit in more powerful parts but the price is over the top.

There are also options for a 10-core i7 processor and two Geforce Titan X video cards. Buyers can choose up to 128GB of DDR4 RAM for their overkill and overpriced build too.

Those who really have cash to burn and are too lazy to build their own setup to save literally thousands of dollars, the R1 Razer Edition is a good place to start. The $4099 option only gets customers the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card plus 16GB of DDR4 memory, TechSpot reported.

For that amount of money, a responsible PC gamer can already build a gaming rig with two GTX 1080 cards plus all the RAM they could want. Customers can choose among the many options on the Maingear website.

Gamers who want two NVIDIA Titan X cards, an ASUS Strix X99 motherboard, the 10-core i7 6950X processor, custom EKoolant deionized water, 64GB DDR4 RAM, Dual Card EK Supremacy cooling for the GPUs and three Samsung 850 EVO 2TB SSDs will have to shell out over $13000 for the R1 Razer Edition.

Razer R1 Razer Edition from Maingear is the perfect way to waste money if the PC gamer is too lazy to build his own PC with possibly more powerful parts with lower prices. The company also has new notebooks with the new Intel Kaby Lake processor and Pascal GPUs shown at the IFA 2016.
