Maingear has unveiled its latest gaming PC, the Doom series, which is an ode to one of the most iconic shooters of all time. Designed in collaboration with Havn, each PC comes with a custom case and internal components.
The Doom series is a limited edition: after its debut on October 14, only 50 copies will be sold and shipped across all of its available configurations. If you’re a Doom fan in the market for a new high-performance gaming setup, this desktop PC could serve as a high-end must-have.
Each configuration is packaged inside Havn’s HS 420 Doom: The Dark Ages case, featuring red Doom Slayer icons and LED lighting. Inside the box you’ll find Doom-related imagery with custom brackets holding the Nvidia 50-series GPUs and braided red cables that fit the overall theme. In an absolutely stunning combination of form and function, each edition of the Doom series includes a TRYX Panorama SE 360 liquid cooler with an LCD screen displaying highlights of Doom.
Top notch specifications and devilish prices
Maingear offers three preset configurations for the Doom series. However, if those specific versions are too rich for your blood, the lower-end versions start at $1,999. Mainger website.
The three main settings are fun nods to classic Doom difficulty settings: you can get the Hurt Me Plenty Edition for $2,999, the Ultra-Violence Edition for $3,999, or the Nightmare Edition for $5,999. Forget about those in-game demons, because these prices are a truly terrifying threat.
Here’s everything you need to know about the three main Doom series configurations:
Too much composition hurts me
The lowest priced Doom series configuration is $2,999. At this price, you can still get a gaming PC, but you’ll be making small sacrifices when compared to the Ultra-Violence and Nightmare designs.
The Hurt Me Plenty configuration comes with an Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU. It also includes an MSI X870E Gaming Plus WiFi motherboard, 32GB DDR5-6000RAM, a 1TB T-Force A440 Pro SSD, and a 650W MSI power supply.
Superviolence composition
The middle option costs $3,999 and gets you an Nvidia RTX 5080 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU. It also comes with an ASRock PG X870E Nova WiFi motherboard, 64GB of RAM, a 2TB SSD, and an 850W power supply.
Nightmare configuration
The highest configuration of the Doom series at $5,999 puts it at a much higher price than the other two on offer. The internal specifications are also higher than other Doom series releases.
This version comes with an Nvidia RTX 5090 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU. The Nightmare configuration shares some specifications with the Ultra-Violence configuration, including an ASRock motherboard, 64GB of RAM, and a 2TB SSD. This configuration allows for greater expansion with a 1250W power supply.
This version is not for the average Joe
The limited nature and high price of the Doom series means that it was designed with a niche audience in mind. I definitely think it would be cool to have a Doom Slayer PC with an LCD monitor that replicates gameplay inside my machine, but I don’t think it’s “$3,000+” worth it. Then again, I’m not a wealthy, die-hard Doom fan.
With Maingear only making 50 of these, you’ll probably retain some collector value to help you justify the higher price. For non-collectors, the composition of the Doom series offers the best components which also helps explain the intimidating prices.
