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 got my MX1000 a couple of weeks ago and it's AWESOME.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but this thing is the best mouse I've ever used. It's VERY accurate, and works like a charm for even the most intensive gaming. (Q3A, etc.)
Best of all, it has a dock that recharges the batteries. Just...
This rig isn't purely for gaming. I do a lot of sotware development as well. The 4GB of ram is there mostly because I'm constantly using VMWare for testing.
I considered the FX-53, but as you pointed out, there are no PCI Express boards for it yet. The Asus Mobo has great reviews and tons of...
I'm building a new machine. I plan on order stuff starting around Sept. 1st.
While money is almost no object, I'm not too keen on spending more than $5,000 on a machine that no matter what I do will be obsolete in 2 years.
How does this look:
ASUS® P5AD2 Premium - Intel 925X Motherboard...
Nope. According to storage review, a single Raptor is pretty close to a U320 Fujitsu. Throw in RAID 0, and I'm willing to bet the Raptors take the lead pretty easily...
Well, I have 75GB right now for just windows / applications, and I'm down to 6GB free. I have a second HD (120GB) that's about 60% filled with various other files and backups.
TekieB - The Asus has all of that, plus firewire, onboard gigabit (3com), and support for RAID on all 6 channels.
I usually pick Asus for their reliability. I've never had a problem with one. (I'm running the A7M266 right now.) I've had problems with pretty much everybody else... Tyan, Abit...
Don't worry about speakers, monitors, or anything like that. I'm good to go. (Dell 2001FP, Gigaworks, etc.)
burningrave101 - Loud = bad. One reason I picked the case I did was because it's supposed to be fairly quite. Good point about the video card, but I think I'll pop for the best. I...
USMC2Hard4U - LOL... the Raptors are pretty close in terms of speed, and a LOT cheaper. Again, money IS an object! :-)
BillLeeLee - What about the PC Power & Cooling PS is better than the True 550? I'll start searching for reviews. Oh, and it's only 398GB. The two 74GB drives are for my...
No need to drop anything. I really want a large RAID 1 backup drive.
I would go with 2GB, but the price jumps fairly dramatically. In fact, I can't find any configuration on the net (like from Alienware, Falcon Northwest, Voodoo PC, etc) with this mobo and more than 1 GB of ram.
It has 3...
I wanted to get everybody's input on my dream machine config. The primary role of the machine will obviously be gaming, but I also do a lot of software development. I've got a pretty big budget, but it's not like money is no object or anything. :-)
Here is what I have so far. Please, pick it...
