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.

Yea, the mobo and shelf are bent a little. It's not perfect. I am sure if I spent more time, I could have made things a lot better. I just didn't have the time.
Cooling is a very good, actually. My only real heat issue are the hard drives. I added the metal bracket after I could feel the the drives were getting too hot to touch. The metal reduced the heat enough to satisfy me for now, but I plan to address the issue later.
