Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I've heard good things about Training Camp from coworkers, but they've only got one date left this year for MCSE 2003 upgrades, and I can't make that one. I just sent an email to Intense School requesting info. I liked TechTrain, but I guess they're out of business now.
I got mine a few days ago, works perfectly and I can't tell that its refurbished by looking at or using it. Can't wait to use the 900 deg mode when GT4 comes out! In the meanwhile it's made NFS Underground 2 a lot more fun to play on the PC.
Make sure Matrix mode is turned off. The documentation that comes with the speakers indicates that the rear speakers are disabled when Matrix mode is on.
