You want 60 GB of RAM memory or a 60 GB harddisk?

My case has so many fans that it hovers above the ground .

You price it out in American Dollars, but I can almost gaurantee it'll be under $2,000 American including Tax.......As I can give you the final price in Canadian Dollars only which is $2,284....That's in Canadian, so in USD whats that...like $1,600 ????
