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've been buying small parts from ZZF for about a year. I always recommend them because of the free shipping and no sales tax. However, my experience today has changed my mind. Not only did it take a week to get my parts here, the CPU was missing. (I received no notification of a backorder) Even...
Well, my monitor came today. Absolutely stunning at 1280x1024@60Hz. Sucks though, because I have to wait until tomorrow for my new computer parts to come in. (Can't wait to get the refresh rate up)
I will say that I was horrified when I first turned it on due to the horrible black levels...
I hope so! It seems that the extra $100 or so I spend on it will go further than a single core will in a few years. But who knows. Do you like your PSU?
Thanks for the feedback guys. Really appreciate it.
I got a copy from my school bookstore for $40. Sucks, considering I already bought Windows XP when it came out.
I already ordered the case, jumped on it before I considered dual core. I could send it back but I would have to pay shipping. ($20)
It's probably not, but I don't know much about computers. Can you all help a noob?

eVGA 7800GT $350
Seagate 7200.8 250GB $110

Antec Sonata II (450w SPII) $100
Chaintech VNF4 Ultra $80
Budget: $1200 Total: $1197
I'm VERY concerned...
So, I bought an Antec Sonata II with the 450w sp 2. I was told the PSU it would work marginally with my new rig, and for the price I couldn't argue. After reading a few posts, perhaps I should buy a better PSU. When I first bought it, I was just going single core AMD64 3500+, but here are my...
