If you've been hunting for a new Windows 7 gaming rig, we've got good news: [Maingear's](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Maingear/) just stepped up its line of Vybe desktops and it sure looks appetizing. Like before, there's a trio of pre-fabricated variants, but the goodies are now packed within a redesigned shell finished in black or white (SE and SS models only). The $949 Vybe S starts things off admirably with an overclocked 2.9GHz Intel Core i5 2310 rated at 3.3GHz (capable of turbo-boosting to 3.7GHz). It's further loaded with a 1GB [NVIDIA GTS 450 GPU](http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/13/nvidia-makes-geforce-gts-450-official-promises-beastly-overcloc/), 4GB of RAM, a 1TB 7,200RPM HDD, 7-in-1 card reader, 7.1 surround sound support and a 24x DVD burner that's all hooked into a USB 3.0 / SATA 6G Intel DP67BA motherboard. The $1,129 SE spices things up with an overclocked i5 2500 rated at 3.7GHz (boosting up to 4.1GHz) and a 1GB [GTX 560 GPU](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/17/nvidias-gtx-560-desktop-gpu-fills-an-exceedingly-narrow-pricing/) that's connected to an SSD-toting [Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/28/gigabyte-bolts-an-ssd-to-a-motherboard-so-you-dont-have-to/) motherboard. Lastly, there's the $1,699 Vybe SS for those who like their noob-slaying experience with extra picante. It's packing an overclocked and water-cooled 4.5GHz+ Core i7 2600K, a duo of those GTX 560 GPUs and 8GB of RAM to make sure you won't experience any hang-ups running *Crysis*.
You can opt to customize the SE and SS rigs with more powerful parts, although you'll be waiting a bit longer for shipping. You'll find details at the source and healthy serving of eye candy in the gallery below. **Gallery: [Maingear Vybe SS](http://www.engadget.com/photos/maingear-vybe-ss/)**
