I was particularly keen to review the Maingear Zero Ruby because it's one of the first prebuilt gaming PCs to use one of MSI’s Zero motherboards. These route all of their cable headers on their rear, clearing clutter, and streamlining cable management during a build.
In a recent meeting with Maingear's marketing lead, he shared an anecdote - the founder of Maingear actually patented motherboards with rear cable headers ten years ago, but was laughed out of meetings with manufacturers back then. Today, the brand is leading the cable-free charge in prebuilt machines, which will almost certainly become a mainstay for the best gaming PCs.
