The other PC Maingear is showcasing is the NV9: Zero Concept. This one is actually something closer to a preview for a future PC built around an MSI Z790 Project Zero motherboard packaged inside the Phanteks NV9 chassis. Targeted at flagship gaming, the NV9: Zero Concept combines an MSI NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super 16GB GPU with an Intel Core i9 processor.
However, aside from its raw performance credentials and impressive thermal chops courtesy of a 420mm Phanteks Glacier One AiO liquid cooler, this concept design also serves as a fully customizable in-case LCD display. Maingear says the NV9: Zero Concept will hit the shelves at some point in the first quarter of 2024.
If that sounds too vague and you are eager to get your hands on an MG-RC kit, the MSI Zero Drop edition will go up for sale on January 24. However, the company warns that supplies will be limited, and given the pace at which previous drops have gone out of stock, you might want to keep the cash or a credit card handy. Neither Maingear nor MSI has said anything about the asking price, but if the Maingear Project Stealth is anything to go by, a thousand dollars will be the absolute lowest you can expect to spend.
