MAINGEAR Drops Retro95: A 90s Throwback with 2025 Firepower
Retro on the outside, relentless on the inside, Retro95 is MAINGEAR’s ultimate tribute to old-school gaming, modernized and made to order
Warren, NJ – July 23, 2025 – MAINGEAR, the leader in premium-quality, high-performance gaming PCs, today announced Retro95, a limited-edition PC drop that brings back the unmistakable style of a ‘90s-era horizontal desktop, now supercharged with cutting-edge hardware. Built for gamers who remember LAN parties, floppy disks, dial-up, and CD-based drivers, Retro95 is a nostalgic love letter to the golden age of PC gaming, reimagined for today’s most demanding titles.
With its beige finish, boxy profile, and horizontal layout, Retro95 looks like it booted straight out of 1995, but don’t let the exterior fool you. Inside, it can be configured with some of today’s most powerful components, including CPU options from AMD and Intel, up to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, 96GB of DDR5 memory, 8TB of Gen4 NVMe storage, Noctua fans and an 850W PSU. Retro95 may flaunt ’90s flair, but it’s also engineered with modern thermals and whisper-quiet air cooling for high performance with low noise.
“This one is for the gamers who lugged CRTs to LAN parties, swapped out disks between levels, and got their gaming news from magazines. The Retro95 drop is our way of honoring the classic era of gaming, with a system that looks like the one you had as a kid, but runs like the monster you’d spec from MAINGEAR today,” said Wallace Santos, MAINGEAR CEO and founder.
With its hidden front-panel I/O, and modern airflow tucked behind its nostalgic shell, the Retro95 is both a sleeper and a showpiece. Feel inspired to dust off some of those classic titles? No problem, this rig can even be optioned with a DVD drive.
