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.

Yeah, I too have noticed that the CPU isn't worth anything. I think the least expensive route would be to just figure this set up out.
Here is the daughterboard with the vga/nic on it doesn't look like there is any power plug in there. The board is cracked where the nic is mounted...
It had to be that bus and that alley way. On my way to work I found an abused laptop sitting in on a dirty oil drum in an alley. The screen was completely mutilated and the case was missing some very important parts. The keyboard had been pried from the chassis with the surgical precision of...
I am thinking of starting with something like this

Alright I am ready to do this if you guys think the timing is right. Again the budget is $1k and I am looking to start buying today. Any suggestions on where to start?
Cooler Master HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 ATX Case
This one should do just fine. I would like to spend as much of my build money on the engine as possible, don't really care about the paint much.
(that thing gotta hemi?)
Okay I am ready to buy. Should I wait still considering the information above or is this a good time to go ahead and drop the hammer?
If I did go out and purchase my build today which route should I take considering my budget and what pieces I need?
