New Gaming PC’s
MSI is getting ready to sell a new range of moderately priced gaming desktops that are being manufactured in America, with pieces coming from other regions of the world.
The latest systems are part of MSI’s MIA Gaming Desktop series, and “MIA” stands for “Made in America.”
The other MSI desktops are releasing changes to the MSI Trident X, Trident 3, and Trident AS, which will continue to be developed and delivered from their Asian operations.
The MIA range contains four models: the Aegis RS, the Aegis R, the Codex R, and the Aegis SE.
Tom’s Hardware announced on Monday that the MIA cheapest model would be the Aegis SE. It will come with the Intel Core i5 10400F processor and the GeForce GTX 1660 Super Graphics Card.
The MIA Aegis SE will have a basic price tag of $799. Two additional versions will be upgraded from there to $1699, offering high-end hardware.

MSI is currently building up a manufacturing line of built-to-order laptop PCs in the U.S. This unit would assemble computer desktops from MSI modules manufactured from Taiwan and China, with an online shop accepting orders. The decision to set up a pre-built facility in the US may have been motivated by US import tariff regimes that support the manufacture of parts.
Since the desktops will be manufactured, packed, and delivered in California, it will also import the different pieces from abroad. It is uncertain if MSI will provide any government subsidies to develop MIA systems in the U.S.
Overall, pricing looks nice at a glance, but it does depend on what the stock solutions provide for the three high-end configurations.
