    Specs are as follow:
    Intel i7 3770k
    w/ Antec Kühler h20 somethingsomething-identical-to-H80
    Asus Z77 Sabertooth
    G.Skill Trident 16GB (4x4GB) 2400MHz
    OCZ Max IOPS 120GB
    MSI Lightning GTX 680
    Seasonic X-850
    Corsair 500R
    So because it is faulty, he wants to sell it all for $1k~? I'm sorry but is he stupid? Take the SSD out, try and get a proper Samsung/WD HDD and just see how Windows does on that.... somehow I doubt he needs to sell everything. Or could he still return the OCZ SSD, if that's an option?

    And people say SATA III OCZ SSDs are no problem with new firmwares, bahhh. What BSOD code are you guys getting?

    Please Cuckoos... tell me the 27" is a 2560x1440 resolution display. =/

    Err, no. We bought the system from him. We being me and a friend. For whatever reason, it appears the SSD that had been working fine up till that point had gone faulty. (He'd been playing BF3 for hours on the machine literally the day before.)

    Why don't you buy a studio desk? I think LA Music sells one of the ones that I am planning on getting (sold at Long & McQuade here in Canada). They are two tiered desks, Yorkville Sound makes them, the regular model is 46 x 21 inches on the main table and the upper table is 45 x 15 inches. Plenty enough room for a monitor plus studio monitor speakers, or two monitors and studio monitor speakers if you get the 70 inch desk.

    Wow.

    I found a keyboard that might fit on that desk:


    I kid, I kid :P but seriously, I feel bad! Save up a few bucks and buy a bigger desk :S

    jokes aside, something like K360 would fit.


    Had same kind of desk few years ago, actually it wasn't that bad

    Looking at the mousepad and by how far his G series keyboard goes over the edge, even that may just barely fit. Actually I can't think why such a desk would even be made...

    I'm pretty sure the K360 will fit, I had that keyboard for awhile until I swapped it out with a keyboard with a touchpad, it's very responsive even when you're far away.

    But I'm pretty sure we're going offtopic now :C
