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.
These guys have been around. I was researching buying a pc rather then building one a year or so ago and these dudes have been around quite a while. You can find reviews on some of their older systems pre 2005. I'm surprised in this economy they are still around, but they're.
I had the worst luck ever with my Shuttle, that thing overheated like there was no tommorrow. I eventually fried my motherboard and hard drive. This was a 2-3 years back though, and looking at those pictures they appear to have some improved cooling.
And the Liquidator (atleast in my area) is the same scumbags who closed out Office Depot in my area because they were one of the stores dropped. It's usually the same company, and they do the same bullshit 10-30 percent off in the beginning, which is usually the same everday price after they...
Odd enough Gateway has yanked all the models from their website, and Best Buy has yanked the $2999 expensive i7 gateway from their website too:

Cyberpower is hit or miss (mostly miss). Do a search for them here and you will find some good information. For $1250 that Gateway is probably the rest bet for you if you want i7. The PSU is Delta I beleive.
The problem is that the retail stores don't show any of these in their warehouse. I checked all local BB and they are not in stock and they do not foresee them in stock for another 2 weeks.
PS- I don't know if anyone noticed, but as of today its on sale for $1049 again

It's official. I went to all my local BB and they don't have ANY incoming or in the warehouse. I noticed they jacked up the price another $100 but it's currently on sale for $1049.
I'm still waiting to jump aboard the i7 bandwagon, but I have looked into both of those Gateway models and I haven't been able to check out the other Gateway system because it's only available online at Best Buy. Both of those Gateway systems are Best Buy exclusives. You won't see much on the...
It is definitley very cool, a novel concept, but like was said before, now that a completely new platform that has come out its already outdated (Kinda like Omen and Voodoo), alot of R+D just went into a PC to have i7 replace it. It is a very custom system thats for sure, and I guess most people...
I have a Velocity Micro that I bought for my girlfriend, an E2250 with Liquid Cooling, Q9450 and its a super quiet machine. I couldn't imagine that the i7 would be a heck of alot louder, but its possible since they use air cooling on the processor and not liquid cooling. The build process was...

You can now purchase the case for $599.99 plus $99.99 shipping, includes 1.1KW PSU and the DVD-RW opitcal drive. Steep price, yes, but you get what you pay for. Looks like you need to call the number posted on the site to get it.
