We don’t tend to cover PCs in depth at Forever Geek, but when something like the SHIFT comes along, it’s worth taking note.

Take a look at this beast. Pretty beautiful isn’t it? (I have to assume that you enjoy gear pr0n, of course)

Not only that, but it has a heck of a lot of power under the hood, utilising Intel’s new Core i7 processors and either an Intel Kingsberg P55 Extreme or EVGA X58 SLI Classified motherboard.

Cram it full of storage (up to six hard drives or 12 SSDs), your choice of graphics and sound cards, and up to 12GB of RAM and you’re set for a powerful computing experience.

Cooling is vital, and the SHIFT features bottom to top airflow, liquid cooling and 90-degree rotation of the motherboard.

There’s even personal support from the person who built each machine, should something go wrong.

Forget tacky plastic: SHIFT features an aluminium skin and steel skeleton, and goes for the classy, minimalist look.

Prices start at $2,199 for the SHIFT Intel P55 and $2,599 for the SHIFT Intel X58.
