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.
Am sure this has already been answered(don't have time to read all 220 posts at the moment) but hardly anyone uses an optical drive. Well maybes for watching or ripping DVDs. 5.25" drive USB enclosures are available.
The O11D Mini Snow edition case is nice. Just bought one last week for £108. It will take me about 9 months to get all the parts together for my first upgrade in 10 years though.
You probably be better off and spending a bit more than $30 on a case. The Corsair Air 540 is a nice compact case. Look on eBay, maybes there is one going second hand?
