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.
Alright, I assume it's worth the ~$2 to go from the 3.2ghz to the 3.4ghz?
I'm sure I won't start with blu-ray stuff right away, though, since it's just a small budget build (literally budget) since I don't have a blu-ray drive yet.
Yeah, sorry it has the 430w, just looked it up. It's just going to be a basic htpc, possibly blu-ray play back in the future. It's a cheap ECS brand motherboard, and I have the geforce 210
edit: ECS board is A960M-M3, I also have ASUS M5A97LE handy but was going to use that for a better build...
In terms of htpc's today, should I go for the dual core or the quad core? PSU is 420w Corsair, I know dual core is less heat, but would it be enough to power the htpc? Right now at newegg it looks to be $54.99 for 3.4ghz dual core, $59.99 for triple core, and $79.99 for the quad.

Everywhere says you can install a front intake fan, however there's a hard drive cage blocking the front. Does anyone have this case and know how to install the front intake fan? Can't find it in their not very...
Yeah, the only Coolermaster I wanted doesn't have the rebate on Amazon, which is where I was going to grab my case to avoid shipping charges (Prime). The earliest it gets me the Gamma was Friday, though, and I'm impatient.
I'm going to upgrade my PC, and rather than gut my current one and rebuild, I figured it'd be best to get a good case to go along with my new i5 2400 (and soon to be GTX460).
My current power supply is an Antec Earthwatts 500w and these were the cases I had on my list, however I'm open to...
Expires in 30 days... if they make it that long, usually lurkers eat 'em up.
