Good news, Gundam fans: some of the Gundam-branded PC components that Asus began selling in Asia last year are now available in the US (via Newegg)

But if you want to buy a new motherboard, you have to pick a side: Intel is Gundam, AMD is Zaku Specifically, Asus has released a special Gundam-themed version of its Intel Z590 board with a classic RX-78-2 Gundam paint job and a special Zaku-themed version of its Tuf Gaming AMD B550M board

It should be noted that, at least on Newegg, Asus' Gundam-themed motherboards are a bit pricier than the no-name brand versions Still, this price is not unreasonable, especially considering the significant price fluctuations seen in the PC component market due to global supply issues and chip shortages

Newegg also offers several other items from the Asus x Gundam collaboration, including a T-shirt and a Zakbrand version of Asus' RT-AX86U AX5700 gaming router In addition to the crimson paint job, this Wi-Fi 6 router has performance-oriented features such as a special "mobile gaming mode" that Asus claims decreases latency while playing games wirelessly

The full line of Asus x Gundam PC components includes Gundam-branded routers, GPUs, cases, power supplies, and even accessories such as headsets and mouse pads Many of these are not yet available in the US, but we expect more to come into US retailers in the future
