Here’s a secret for you: I can write about computers for a living, but I have not built or bought a new computer for almost a decade. I just don’t play graphically demanding games as much as before, but the Maingear new Retro95 game is finally ready to break my tube.
The Maingear Retro95 looks like a setback for the era when I played demanding (then) games, not Windows 95, not Windows 11, built in the Silverstone FLP01 inside-retro-style PC-style PC case, which started as a stupid April stupid product-retro95. Packing the NVIDIA RTX 5080 graphics card, current chips of AMD or Intel and up to 96GB of memory and 8 KB storage space, this machine is the definition of a sleeping range (and yes, it uses Microsoft’s up -to -date operating system).

But it’s a look that makes me wonder if I should click on it “Buy”. The case is the exact correct beige tone to shrink nostalgia, and comes with Noctua’s old school style fans to complete the cover. You can also place it either horizontally or vertically, and regardless of the direction, your computer has gratifying rounded legs. All in all, this computer feels like an antidote to all the rainbow lighting and irritable graphics that tend to decorate modern gaming computers, things that attract me much less now that I am older.
Perhaps the best thing is the floppy stations. There are two floppy disks in front of the enclosure, but they are not just there for the exhibition. Instead, there are USB ports below and there is a functional DVD station at the top. Physical PC media has mostly died today and at age, but including the way to take records really make sure that Retro95 can also play your retro software instead of just looking like it.
What do you think so far?
The price is also right, but there is little catch. From $ 1,599, it is reasonably placed around the other level Prebuted Gaming computers Within the RTX 5080, you will get the added retro noise at no extra cost. Unfortunately, Maingear only makes a limited number of these. The company has not said how many Retro95 is sold, but according to the press release, “when they are gone, it is the game”, “(according to the company’s website)” no reruns “and” no other opportunities “.
It’s not too surprising for a particular product, but maybe the disappointment is that you have to provide your own accessories. Although MaingEar’s marketing material shows a retro95, which is on board a space-driven CRT screen and covered with an old school loudspeaker and mouse/keyboard installation, buying it only gives you a tower. Frankly, selling MaingEar This retro -gear alongside a new computer takes a lot of effort and costs, but you expect to spend time on eBay if you really want to perform this computer’s look.
