The new Retro98 tower looks like it was transported to 2026 through a time machine, but the inside is undeniably modern. While the Retro98 is definitely built with gamers in mind, as if often the case with gaming-oriented PCs, the machine should demolish a creative workflow. The liquid-cooled Retro98 has AMD’s new Risen 9 9850X3D (up to 9950X3D) CPU and Nvidia’s powerful GeForce RTX 5090 GPU. As is always the case with Maingear machines, the Retro98 PC is handbuilt and promises high-quality craftsmanship. A mid-tier option with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is $3,499, while a model with the AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D and GeForce RTX 5090 is $4,999.
