When building a PC, especially one that you want to flaunt, wires always spoil the looks if you are chasing the glass aesthetic. Exposed cables, visible RGB strips, and cooling tubes spoil the whole look. Maingear finally has a solution for fans of glass-y desktops.  

The brand has today introduced its next-gen Zero series pre-built desktop PCs that focus on a minimalist look as much as they are concerned about serving brute computing power. The objective, as per Maingear, is to deliver “no visible motherboard cables, no exposed RGB diodes, and nothing standing between you and your build.”

Over at the front is a curved tempered glass without any sharp corners or breaks, providing an unobstructed view of the core components such as the graphics card, cooler, fans, motherboard, and memory stick. The light sources are diffused, which means there are no visible diodes or metal wires to be seen anywhere. Check out the configurations below:

Maingear says it used the patented MG-RC (MAINGEAR Rear Connection) technology to engineer the new Zero series desktop, cleanly slotting all cables below the board. There is also space for collectibles that you can fit inside the tower via custom display stands that don’t need ant screw or tools to install.

In case you missed it, Maingear also makes fantastic retro-inspired towers, while the Vybe series launched in 2022 is targeted at fans of minimal builds. I am quite fond of the bold looks on the F131 desktop. The pre-built Zero desktop comes in five flavors, starts at $2,699, and is now up for grabs from Maingear’s website.

Samsung lays out grim pricing prophecy for mobile and PC gear
Memory shortage could get worse in 2027 and last through 2028
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Samsung warned in April that the memory shortage could get worse in 2027. Three months later, the company’s outlook has become even more troubling for anyone planning to buy a new phone, laptop, gaming PC, or another device packed with memory and storage.

During its Q2 2026 earnings call, Samsung said demand is still running far ahead of supply and that orders it cannot fulfil this year are likely to spill into the next. The company now expects the shortage to persist through 2028, extending its earlier warning by another year.

Lenovo leak shows upcoming IdeaCentre desktop that isn’t afraid to ape the iMac
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

Windows all-in-one desktops have never really been known for turning heads. They've traditionally been practical machines that blend into an office, while Apple's iMac has spent years proving that a desktop can double as a piece of home decor. That might finally be changing.

Newly leaked images obtained by Windows Latest suggest Lenovo is preparing a redesigned IdeaCentre all-in-one that ditches the usual sea of black and silver in favor of several colorful finishes. While Lenovo hasn't officially announced the machine yet, the images paint a picture of a desktop that seems perfectly happy borrowing a page from Apple's playbook — and, surprisingly, it doesn't feel like a bad thing. The leak also hints that Lenovo could be keeping some of the IdeaCentre's most practical features from the current generation.
