If anything I think the best we can hope for is the 20nm going into the 900 series cards since nvidia may be skipping 22nm in their next cards. If so I think we'll see a 980ti that has a huge performance gain over the 980 AND use less power

Yes the keyboard mount rotates and goes up and down

Nah I'm not growing anymore, I'm 28 years old lol. It actually only costs 400 before shipping.

Ahh I see. Yeah I should have looked last night. It was really late.

Oh, it also comes with a cup holder lol

Luckily for me I'm 5'11" at 175 lol. The overall design looks awesome. I especially like the idea of the keyboard tray being rotational and height adjustable to make for easy transitions from playing FPS and mmo games to playing racing and flight sims. Plus if I get the 3 monitor rack upgrade and put all 3 of my monitors on it and run it with Nvidia surround for my racing games, I can actually practice racing (to an extent depending on the game) without having to spend money on gas or an extra track day before I go race on Saturdays.

Yes, this should definitely be in your top contenders list. The only other SSDs I would put next to it for the money would be the Samsung 850 Pro or the high end Intel that I forgot the name of at the moment lol.

Hey, I am getting a new gaming "desk" once they show back up at the USA retailer. The desk in question is the Obutto ozone Gaming Cockpit http://obutto.com. My question is, as the topic title suggests, has anyone tried or does anyone have this desk? If so, how was your experience with it? If no one has, I would like to review it here once I get mine and set it up. So essentially I am asking; has anyone reviewed this desk on here yet?

I recently, and by recently I mean 2 weeks before Christmas, got my hands on an OCZ Vector 150 120GB SSD. I did a LOT of research before making my purchase decision factoring in advertised specs, price per GB, and company reputation. Out of all of the SSDs I have owned, and I have owned many, this is among the best SSD money can buy. While I may have their most basic, entry level, model of this series; it is still a member of OCZ's flagship consumer grade SSD lineup. I will admit, when I first got it and ran some synthetic benchmarks I was extremely disappointed by the numbers I was seeing. These were later revealed as a faulty SATA cable. I will state this in defense of OCZ, when I contacted OCZ about the issue I was having, their support team was both fast and helpful in narrowing down why my drive was running as slowly as it was. This was a nice feeling because I have had OCZ products in the past during my early years of building PCs and the quality of not only the customer service but the products themselves were absolute garbage! I am extremely glad to say that those days are, seemingly, over thanks to Toshiba taking over. Now, on to the actual review of this particular product. I only have two words to describe this SSD... HOLY CRAP! This thing is FAST! Like Corvette ZR1 fast. Like F-22 Raptor fast. Like... well you get the picture. When I first benchmarked it on a fresh install (after the cable issues were resolved) the performance numbers were actually higher than advertised while using the exact same synthetic benchmarks that OCZ specifies on their site (they are also cited on the box). I have also done a number of full capacity tests and fresh wipe tests. OCZ gives access to some pretty decent SSD utilities like secure erase that will completely erase all of the information on the drive, much like formatting, but claims that it will restore any lost performance from drive saturation. I wish I could comment about that function a bit more but honestly after having done 5 full capacity benchmarks (filling, testing, erasing, repeat) I have not seen any significant losses in performance. Even at full capacity the drive performs as advertised or better. You can PM me for the exact numbers I got and I will run the test again, I just didn't write any of them down... My bad. What really matters though is real world performance and I have to say it is better than I could have expected. With this drive I have loaded programs and even booted into windows faster than people I know with the so-called "ultimate" SSDs (the ones hooked up with SATA cables, I know I'd stand no chance against a PCIe drive). In gaming, maps and zones load faster than ever before. It was actually because of this drive that I discovered that my previous drive was actually bottlenecking my internet download speeds because it couldn't write fast enough. I personally can download the same game on Steam on both drives one after the other and see a 10MBps difference in the average speed between both drives. The Vector truly is the Corvette of SSDs. Let's talk about packaging and the little goodies you get with this drive. So, as I said, OCZ provides a key for their proprietary software for optimizing and securely erasing their drives. Also in the package is a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter plate that has a very classy OCZ emblem painted on, not just a sticker. I was honestly a little disappointed with the adapter honestly, but probably not for the reasons you'd think. My case utilizes quick disconnect drive attachments that literally have pins that pop into where the screws would normally go. On literally everything else I have in my case they fit perfectly, not so much with the OCZ adapter. Granted it still mounted up by removing the pins and just using the screws that were also provided with the SSD, it took away that convenience factor that I enjoyed when I first began this build. And that is pretty much it if you exclude the warrantee booklet and instruction manual. In my own personal opinion they could have improved by adding one tiny little thing with the drive, a case badge. Speaking of the warrantee, OCZ has one of the, if not the best SSD warrantees on the market right now. Yes, like so many others it is limited to a 5 year warrantee, 5 years less than the coveted Samsung 850 Pro. However, where OCZ stands out from everyone else is the fact that instead of the industry standard 20GB per day usage limitation, OCZ has decided to go with a 50GB per day limit. I'm no math wiz but I am pretty sure that actually gives it a higher total data transfer warrantee than the 20GB per day Samsung 850 Pro. While it would have been nicer of them to have a warrantee that was, say, 25 GB per day over 10 years to make it clearly better than the Samsung warrantee, the number of years is probably of little consequence because in 5 years everyone will probably be on affordable PCIe drives and SSDs plugged in through SATA cables will be as out dated as HDDs are now. Bringing me to my conclusion. Is the Vector 150 the best and fastest SSD on the market? Probably not, but for the money, especially how little I paid for it on Black Friday, you just can't go wrong. It is blazing fast, with arguably the best warrantee, and it looks pretty darn sweet sitting inside of my case. When I say blazing fast I mean that I have timed my boot ups, from after the bios posts and the windows logo shows up, to just barely under 5 seconds on Windows 8.1. That is without even using the fast load software utility provided by ASRock with my motherboard. This SSD is responsive almost instantly. I have yet to find a single hiccup in anything I have stored on my SSD and there has never been even one hint of my mouse pointer stuttering (I heard that was a problem with some SSDs somewhere). So in my opinion, the OCZ Vector 150 is the best SSD for the money on the market right now, and even possibly among the best SATA3 SSDs on the market period. Thank you for reading and I apologize for the lack of pictures (the forums have been giving me all sorts of issues, I can't even quote people or paste links) but there are a ton of great images all over the internet if you get more curious.

I had this same question the other day too, but I got very little in the way of responses. I have always used EVGA personally and they currently have the fastest single gpu card on the market as well (if you don't mind spending an extra $150). I am leaning toward the Classified myself and sacrificing my budget somewhere else to get it. Also the ACX cooler is a very good cooler. Literally the ONLY thing not to like is that you'd have to spend another 20 bucks to get a backplate.

Hello guys. I would use it to upgrade my system to something that can actually support the kind of gaming that I want to do, in conjunction to all of the other upgrades I have planned for my system.

@wng_kingsley7 I don't really care about aesthetics as much as I do about performance because in my case I'll never see the card again anyway. I'm more concerned about which is going to give me the best experience per dollar with the 980. I am already going to be spending $560 minimum for the card, but which one gives the best performance per dollar out of all the 980s on the market right now is really my question.

So I have decided on getting a GTX 980 gpu to replace my laughable GTX 650ti. The big question now is.... WHICH ONE DO I GET? It is so confusing, so many manufacturers making very similar cards makes it nearly impossible to decide which one to get. I have narrowed it down to 3 though that look good to me. First is the EVGA Super-clocked edition. It looks great specs wise and the price is not too unreasonable. EVGA has been in my opinion a very solid manufacturer that always puts out quality long lasting products. Second would be the EVGA Classified. The fact that this is (at the time of writing) the most powerful single gpu card on the market right now very appealing to me. The only question is the price. Is it worth the 150 extra dollars for the performance gains it provides? And the third choice is the MSI Gaming 4G LE model. I remember watching in one of Linus' videos when he had a rep from MSI talking about their additional power phases and the quality of their cards. However, he mentioned only 12 total power phases, 2 less than the EVGA classified advertises. While slightly more expensive than the super-clocked version, is it a solid contender for the classified card in terms of performance and overclock ability?

The GPU is already paid for with my tax return (I get a lot back). I was looking into a second ssd to run in raid 0. I am just depressed that I can't get it for the same price as when I got this one (black Friday ftw). So I guess a ram upgrade is kinda useless? I do plan on getting into a lot of next gen and 4k gaming when I get the gtx 980

Well I would consider getting into an i5-i7 but not an i3. Even if an i3 was an option, changin platforms is way outside of my budget. So far the vector is an incredible storage drive, by far one of the fastest SSDs I've seen. But thank you for your input
