Maingear has unveiled a new line of custom-built gaming PCs, the Doom Series, created in partnership with Havn. These machines are designed as a high-end tribute to the iconic Doom franchise, offering powerful hardware within a striking, thematic chassis. The release is limited to just 50 units across all configurations, making them both a gaming platform and a collector’s item.
Themed Design and Premium Components
Each Doom Series PC is housed in Havn’s HS 420 case, featuring Doom : The Dark Ages aesthetics with red Slayer iconography and custom LED lighting. The interior components are equally themed, including custom brackets for Nvidia 50-series GPUs and braided red cabling. A standout feature is the TRYX Panorama SE 360 liquid cooler with an LCD screen that displays looping Doom gameplay footage – a blend of form and function that elevates the visual experience.
Pricing and Configurations
Maingear offers three pre-built configurations, styled after classic Doom difficulty levels. Lower-end builds begin at $1,999, while the main configurations are priced as follows:
- Hurt Me Plenty ($2,999): Equipped with an Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, 32GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, a 1TB SSD, and a 650W power supply.
- Ultra-Violence ($3,999): An Nvidia RTX 5080 GPU paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, a 64GB RAM, a 2TB SSD, and an 850W power supply.
- Nightmare ($5,999): The highest-end option features an Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU, alongside 64GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD, and a substantial 1,250W power supply for maximum expansion capabilities.
Market Positioning
The Doom Series is clearly aimed at a niche audience: dedicated Doom fans with substantial disposable income. The limited production run suggests an intentional emphasis on exclusivity and potential collector value. While the high price point may deter casual buyers, the components themselves justify the cost for those seeking a top-tier gaming experience.
The combination of high-end specs, limited availability, and thematic design makes the Doom Series a luxury product rather than a mainstream offering.
The release demonstrates a growing trend of collaborations between hardware manufacturers and gaming franchises, catering to dedicated fanbases willing to pay a premium for unique and collectible hardware.
