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.

Stiletto One: Yeah, and it also kinda matches with the Samsung LCD more so than the black cases. I primarily picked it for the USB/1394/audio block and not the looks. And even then I don't have a big prob with the design.
The CNPS7000 is a CPU fan, right? What's are some good case fans that...
Random Digits: I think the mobo will probably stay. If I go with the Sonata, do you think the power supply will be adequate?
sdk: Telling me its ugly isn't very helpful. What's a better alternative?
Hey,
I wanted some advice/suggestions on building my computer. My priorities are: QUIET and silent (I have to forget that the computer is on ;) ), below 1,500 (as close to 1,000 as possible), and gaming (I'm big on graphics), and then the usual word processing/internet surfing. Check my list...
