Well, it isn't actually dead. In fact, I'm posting this from my 8790 right now. It does have many many problems though...stick of bad memory taken out, messed up video card (I think the motherboard is damaged), and a non-functioning...

Have the screen replaced with the QDI screen. I did it and all my screen issues went away. No more shadows, no more ripples, and what feels like twice the brightness.
