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.

but for an optical drive... im still trying to wrap my head around how it would fit with the design..
ive been looking for a case like this but the lack of optical drive is preventing me in buying this.

my question:

planning on putting this on my buddy's...
