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.
I recently picked up a Dell Optiplex 780 (slim) that I'd like to upgrade a bit. I didn't pay much for the pc just wanted something to tinker with a bit.

I'm thinking of adding a better low profile video card (Youtube is currently choppy)
Maybe a newer faster...
I just recently picked up an older Dell Optiplex 780 (slimline) to fool around with in my spare time. I know very little about computer parts but what video card would you recommend upgrading to for this system?

I'm hoping...

A small HTPC for my home office.
This needs to be really small. I currently don't have satellite but may subscribe again at some point. Right now I basically want to record regular tv shows and be able to watch them at a later date. Also run Netflix, bluray, and dvds.
I know almost...
I have an older Gateway GT5040 Desktop with VGA connection. I'm looking to purchase a tv for my small home office. I would like to be able to switch between the tv and the desktop (internet) without having to unhook cables and such. I don't have a sattelite so I'm only interested in watching...
I recently purchased my first bluray player (LG ethernet model ) and hooked it up to a new Vizio lcd. I get great video but no audio. I have checked the settings to make sure everything is correct with hdmi and it is. Finally got it to work but everytime the bluray is powered off, I have no...
My speakers that came with my Gateway desktop went out about a month ago (probably 5 years old). Anyway I went and purchaed a set of Logitech speakers for about $20. They worked fine for a day or two then I began noticing that the left speaker would go dead. I tinkered with it a bit and they...
