Coca-Cola PC Casemod: Have a CPU and a Smile
We used to feature lots of awesome PC casemods here on Technabob, but the rise of laptops and mobile devices has all but killed the desktop PC except for high-end gaming and professional workstations. So with that, the number and frequency of cool mods has decreased dramatically. But here’s one recent casemod I really thought was worth sharing.
Built as a collaboration between PC maker MAINGEAR and tooth decay maker Coca-Cola, this amazing custom PC build is loaded with the latest and greatest tech, and also looks amazing.
The PC features Coke’s iconic red and white color scheme, and a slick liquid cooling system that incorporates an actual glass Coca-Cola bottle. They even managed to figure out a way to make the cooling liquid look like Coke, complete with fizzy bubbles inside. They even went so far as to use the actual mix of dyes that Coke uses in their soda for authenticity. There’s also a slight green tinge to the side glass, which matches the “Georgia Green” that Coke bottles are made from.
The gaming PC is based on the MAINGEAR Rush, running an Intel 6950x CPU and HyperX memory. However, it’s been highly customized for this build. One of the highlights of the system is the dual GTX 1080 graphics card stack that they managed to mount at a 90º angle relative to the motherboard, and the visible liquid cooling that flows through see-through plumbing and into a cooling reservoir on top of the card.
It’s a really beautiful build, though I really wish it had a Coke dispenser built in. Actually, I prefer Diet Coke.

Maingear launches liquid-cooled Epic series with 4th-gen Intel Core-i7 CPUs
Liquid-cooled PCs are de rigueur for serious gamers, but Maingear knows there are plenty who'd rather crowbar headcrabs than fiddle with plumbing. To that end, the company's just buttressed its water-chilled desktop lineup with the Epic Series, consisting of the full-tower Force and mid-sized Rush models. Each pack a "BiTurbo" pump design that keeps things cool in the event of a single pump failure, along with the latest Intel 4th-generation Core i7 or AMD FX processors. As for graphics, you'll get four-way SLI NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan or Radeon HD 7970 GPUs if you opt for the Force model, while the Rush offers two-way GeForce GTX Titan SLI or dual Radeon HD 7990 graphics. There are also numerous memory, storage and static pressure fans using Corsair parts, and custom touches like lighting and Glasurit paint with an "automotive finish." Prices start at $3,259 for the Force and $3,059 for the Rush and go way up from there -- if that doesn't phase you, check the source for more.
