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.
It's ok, i can see why something like this might not be for everyone but most of the repsonses i have had have been positive. And as i mentioned as long as i have fun doing something that's all that matters to me.
Touch screen is working perfect under Windows 7 now so that's a bonus. I was...
I like it, its something unique that I can make my own and that's what matters for me. Yes I could have ordered the latest ultra wide screen display etc but where's the fun in that.
It's more a hobby for me and I enjoy doing stuff like this.
Ok that's where I am up to now, and sorry for the info dump.
Any suggestion and comments welcome. I would be interested in hardware suggestions, directions and colour scheme.
Need to add lettering stickers upfront by the buttons to identify them, anyone suggest where I could source peel off...
Just trying to get touch screen working, have had the LCD part working from a few days ago but the touch screen digitizer is a separate part connected independently.
It's a real arse getting stuff functioning as everything is geared towards windows 2000 / XP, and with me installing W7 having to...

original board

desoldered
my solution, this cute little USB 3.0 board
And I couldn't have cut it down to size any better myself, what are the chances it is literally a perfect fit.
freshly powder coated casing
and how it will fit...
Really impressed with the powder coaters, for £60 you cant complain. Excellent uniform finish.
Went back even further to the rear assembly, left the LCD housing though as didn't want to mess with the connector ribbons anymore than I had to. Though is covered by the housing.
So given the system at stock looked like a 90s VCR I wanted to somehow spruce it up a little bit. Now I'm not the greatest fan of vinyl wrapping, and have thought before it sometimes looks a bit tacky but given this build is race inspired I thought a carbon fibre vinyl wrap would be perfect.
I...
Touch screen digitizer glue had all tried up and was loose so took it apart and scraped off all the old glue and ordered some double sided tape used on mobile and tablet digitizers. Cleaned up both digitizer and screen with some isopropyl before putting on new double sided tape. Got it clamped...
Hi guys,
I came of across a system on eBay a few weeks go that was up for sale as spares / repairs, which caught my eye. Never seen anything like it and there isn't / wasn't much information about it online but it seemed cool and thought it would make for an interesting project. Having done...
Hi guys,
I'm in process of doing a refurb / upgrade of the old legendary Zalman TNN-500AF passively cooled case. Considering the case is 10 years old the PSU (whilst working) is not suitable for a modern build for a variety of reasons not least safety and compatibility.
I have done a few...
No problem, if you want can upload my note drawings with all dimentions and measurements on.
I can huck them up to the fan controller by rigging wires together but theres no need considering these noctuas are virtually silent. Also can use the resistor cables 7v that come with the fans if i...
