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.
Screen Leakage? I haven't noticed any problems with my Asus G1S-A1. It's awesome! My only complaint is that Vista sucks. I got a blue screen of death 2 minutes after I first turned it on. Chucked it for XP and no problems since.
Finally made the switch, running Ubuntu 6.10 w/ beryl.
Hardest part of installing it was getting the nvidia drivers to work, for some reason the xorg file would not configure correctly with Envy.
I can already see that I'm gonna need to spend more than 800 for this.
So far I'm looking to use http://www.freenas.org/ for the OS
Hardware:
$100 1gb ram
$50 1gb usb flash key or 60-80gig drive
$100 500+ watt psu
$360 3 400gb drives in RAID 5...
I have had a 300gb drive fail on me, so I was hoping that using RAID 1 would reduce the chances of that happing again. The only other way they could get wiped is by a virus right? In which case backing up to DVD-Rs sounds like the only solid way to prevent data loss. Any other ideas for cost...
I am planning on building a file server box and I'm looking for suggestions on what to get.
I am especially clueless on what type of RAID controller to get, and I'm trying to keep it under 800 dollars.
I already have a 300gb and a 400gb drive and plan on buying similar drives to Raid 1...
Thanks for the input guys, I decided to get Debian on my laptop. I'll stick with the baby steps from here on out, seeing out I am trying to take on too much at once.
Has anyone had success with this?

I was looking into taking another plung into linux this weekend and after failing to get gentoo to work, I was thinking about using this.
Any thoughts?
Well I have a 7800gt I was using as a TV tuner and I used to have a usb avermedia TV tuner, but I never could play console games with them due to the lag. Is there any improvment in using VGA TV tuners?
