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.
Unfortunately, I'm starting to get the feeling that I'm not gonna get as much computer as I want for the price I'm willing to spend. After all, this computer isn't even for me. :P I am looking to spend like 100 maybe 150 max. So if you have something you're willing to sell in that range, let me...
Hey all,
I'm looking for a computer for my girlfriend's brother. I only need the computer, no monitor, mouse or keyboard needed. I need something that will run Photoshop CS2 and Maya 8.5 and a little light gaming. So basically, I'm looking for a P4 or AMD equivalent, 1 GB of decently fast RAM...
Your temps seem fine for a stock cooler. I had my E6300 on stock air at one point, and it idled at 54C(our computer room is unreasonably hot for some reason) Now I have an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and it idles at 35-40C.
As for the settings for your mobo, can't help you out there. Sorry.
I looked at the AMD processor and Foxconn mobo in zero_vertical's sig, and that seems to be a cheap/low power/low heat alternative to an Intel chip. Everything else would work out though, you guys think?
Sooo, I'm thinking about doing a budget HTPC build(read: as dirt cheap as possible) and I've been absorbing knowledge about the subject, and put together this preliminary list:
Mobo: Biostar Micro 775 SE
Processor: P4 631 Cedar Mill 3.0ghz
RAM: 1GB Kingston DDR2-667
HDD: WD 320GB...

As far as molding goes, I think it's a matter of personal preference, so that's pretty much up to you whether you want to use molding or rivets or whatever.
Yeah, there are various places online that sell C-molding, but I found it easier to just run down the street to Wal-Mart. They're...
I don't have any pictures of the actual process because my girlfriend borrowed my digital camera, but I suppose I could toss up some pictures of the finished product.
I had doubts as to whether or not it would hold the plexiglass securely so I used heavy-duty double-sided tape(found at...
What I did is just go to Wal-Mart's automotive section, they have some door trim for about 3 dollars. It's 4 feet or so worth, and it worked great for me. I used a piece of paper(8.5"x11") as a reference for cutting the hole, so I went to Ace Hardware and got a 12"x12" sheet of plexi for $2.30...
Hey, I've searched the memory and motherboard forums for a while, and I couldn't find quite the correct answer for this(probably stupid) question. Now, I have 2GB of DDR2-667 RAM, and a shitty motherboard. I'm getting a P5B-E shortly, and it's rated for DDR2-800 RAM. Is there any reason I...
