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.
My HDD's recently died and I treid to have a buddy fiddle with them with no luck. He said that 1 of the drives was detected when plugged in but he can't format it or look at it. I believe the other drive is crapped out, but I don't have an external set up for these internal drives to mess with...
Shite! The Egg doesn't have any Buffalo Firestix....
As for HD and RAM I would like to stay as low as possible without sacrificing quality. I guess I'm not sure which to go with, either SSD + HD or HD + RAM...
Ok so a decent HDD rather than an SSD, that way I could opt for an additional 2gigs of ram to help it run a bit better? Stupid question but could I get just 1gig of ram to make a total of 3? Or is that weird and more common to stick with even number of gigs.
If that's the case given my...
This is exactly why I love this forum. Quick, I mean really quick repsonses.
Thanks guys.
Since the build, this new stuff thats hit the market is leaps and bounds ahead of mine so much so it's not even funny. Makes me think my rig is getting really outdated. Eh, I suppose that's how...
WindowsXP, is what was loaded on there before the HD's died.
Also no gaming will be done. Back in '06 I did built this system for some light gaming but have since resorted to my consoles for any games. Don't ask me why I built it using what I did if I wasn't a big gamer, cause I couldn't...
Well I built my system around Xmas '06...ya dated I know. Since then I've been out of the hardware and HardForum circle for quite some time. Please bare with me.
So it seems both my HDD's have died, neither are recognized in my PC nor in an external setup for data retrieval. This brings me...
holey old thread i know, but i've been lookin around for a winXP theme that makes it look like Vista. Really like how Vista looks but not diggin all the bad things with a newly built rig.
Does anyone know of a safe site to get a theme that looks like Vista?
awsome man, again thanks for the name drop.
If your lookin to hide the vid card power cables, hit me up....or i guess the easier thing would be to peek at my pics but eh whatever's easier.
also i wouldn't recommend lengthening the front audio cable, less you de-pin it, extend the wires and...
not really a complain about mine, but i just didn't realize how big it was. I mean this case is HUGE.
i've never made my own pc, so i had no idea what to expect. But to be this big was def a surprise to me. ya ya ya, i coulda looked at the measurements and been like, "ok so its gonna be...
bwahahhaaha, thats awsome man. i mean it looked similar but i didn't think you took the plunge cuz you saw a "noob" do it to his.... noob being me of course :o lol *whispersthought i'd mention it was my firt build.... :rolleyes:whispers*
ya mang, i couldn't see sheit in mine after it was...
not ostracizing you, i'm just curious how is it exactly you find a particular case "tacky" when your case defined by Websters is well
Tacky: not having or exhibiting good taste: as a : marked by lack of style : DOWDY b : marked by cheap showiness : GAUDY <a tacky publicity stunt> <a tacky...
i don't think they need to drop the price at all. Its nice knowing not everyone and their sack riding friend can buy these insanely beautiful cases for $50 bucks a pop.
Ef it, if you want it, buy it. Only person in the way is yourself. Work your ass off and buy an awsome case. The price...
wow, thanks a ton guys, its my first build so i'm still tweeking things here and there. Still not happy with the wire management, nor my lack of a proper water cooling setup :rolleyes:
Anyway it seems daunting at first, but its fairly simple. Of all the things i would say disassembly of...
