• 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.

    Going to college in a couple of years, need some help from you guys.

    Yeah, that's some pretty important information there. you would have gotten different responses that would make more sense if we had known that since the original OP is only 15. Next time don't thread jack. 1. It'll confuse the OP in the answers he sees (trying to filter what applies to...

    Going to college in a couple of years, need some help from you guys.

    that's what Michael Dell did...though he was more about putting them together. Anyways, yes. not a bad way to start and will teach you more about how to run a business. An internship is also not a bad way to approach it. Just be upfront about your goals to wherever you're trying to get a...

    Going to college in a couple of years, need some help from you guys.

    You don't want to end up being just a "network" admin as the field is so broad. I'd put it in terms as the difference between somebody who might just monitor traffic lights around a city to minimize traffic jams to the civil engineer who actually has to solve how to move things around a city...

    Password Security and Storage

    1password (really highly rated on app store also but they do have standalone packages for desktop) is what i use. they have a lot of insightful blogs on their site that talk about how they implement and issues specifically related to maintaining passwords.

    SSD for a PATA desktop

    huh :confused: in a machine this old, what else could you possibly consider to put in the pci slot? And judging by your wording, there are several free PCI slots as it is. buy a SATA card. done. move on. unless you're trying to outfit some old school sparc server or something... spend the...

    Home Server OS Suggestions

    if you have a "student" account where you can get server 2012 essentials free, then I would recommend it. It's technical the successor to SBS but I tend to think of it as more the love child of whs2011 and sbs. it can be a pain to setup since it requires itself to be a AD domain controller but...

    Building a new home server, need case suggestions

    I'm confused. You're title talks about case recommendations yet all you write about are motherboard choices. The single thing you do mention even remotely related to storage is the "enclosure". so what is your question? 1. If it's a case for a home server. I recommend norco 4220 or 4224...

    Hyper-V VM and Private IPs

    what are you using to connect to the internet? is your server also serving as the router (ala pfsense, untangle) or are you using a hardware router (netgear, linskys, etc)? according to what you've described...you don't have anything connected to the WAN side (public) 1 nic should be...

    What power supply for 24 drives ?

    I think only certain models in the AX line are Seasonic sourced. Easily verifiable reading through some of the hardocp reviews. and yeah, i'd second the corsair route if actual seasonic is not available to you.

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    this might seem strange for a home server but...any recommendations on keeping my norco 4220 dust free on the inside? i've though about buying some screen door mesh to make an adhoc dust filter to put on the front. Any other suggestions? (and keeping my house dust free...yes, but other than...

    Which SSD to choose?

    IF those are really the only options you have in your country. I'd go with Corsair. Never liked the intel 330s.
