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.
Just dropped two of them in FT03-Minis with Antec 620 Coolers this past week. Dual gigabit NICs and Intel WiFi.
Also, dropped in 3 Intel DH77DF motherboards in FT03-Minis with the Antec 620 Coolers for a small client site. Wish I would have waited till the Gigabyte Z77s were back in stock. One...
Yeah. Tossing it in one of the Silverstone Sugo bags when I transport it. Fits perfectly. But it's no featherwieght.

It's certainly not as "get up and go" at a moment's notice like the previous case's built in...
FT03 MicroATX version fits the 5870 with some room to spare.
Silverstone FT03T, i7 960, MSI X58M, ATI 5870, 12GB (6x2GB) Crucial Tracer RAM, 3x3.5" HD, 1xSSD, Slim Optical BluRay, Corsair TX650M, and some Silverstone noise reduction padding ....Still waiting on an Antec 620 to show up.
Wanted...
That vid card will fit the Cooler Master Elite 120 mini-ITX case with no issue. It could take up to an AMD 7990 or NVIDIA GTX690. It also looks to be a nice exhausting cooling unit. Making sure to get the hot air out of your case instead of simply recirculating it. You are going to really enjoy...
Decent deal on a 90GB SSD if you needed to shave a few more $$ off the setup. 80-90GB is about the smallest I'd go for a boot drive.

First of all, unless doing a full loop water cooling or multiple video cards are in your future ITX can do everything you need and save you space and power.
If this is a gaming build you want a GTX660 2GB as a minimum. GTX660 Ti if you can find any good deals on it. RAM needs for games are...
For the 30" screens you'll want as much video ram as possible. I second the recommendation for a GTX 680 with 4GB.
The only other strong suggestion I'd make is mini-ITX model of the Silverstone Fortress Series. I'd recently become enamored with thise seies and it's case orientation. The...
Nice looking setup.
I'll be moving my X58 setup into one of these next week with the lower end Antec 620 cooler. So far I've been able to resist upgrading to the Sandy Bridge-E ... but I can no longer resist upgrading the case.
I can confirm with WiSK my research shows the same. Avoid the FTW+ and Classified. You need the base 680 for the FT03-mini.
This is what I'm going with for some FT03-mini builds soming up who want the 680 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130799
Thanks for the updates.
Much thanks for the confirmation. I had found small detail out that after posting the original message and decided to try the bronze to save him some $$ instead. First one hasn't gotten here yet. I'm glad you confirmed the bronze was the way to go.
Turns out i'm...
We often forget how much faster an SSD is even on a SATA II link than a spindle drive. I think going the mSATA route is a good call to start with and a good location for the Host's OS (be that virtualbox or ESXi). If you need to add a large SSD later for holding more VMs and snapshots you can...
The big question ... the Antec 620 or the Corsair H60. I'm not looking to wildly overclock this, if at all. It's a build I'm putting together for my brother who's a big gamer, but doesn't have the time/patience/desire to overclock. I'd also like to keep all the drive brackets intact for...
I've often wondered why this hasn't happened before.
Netbooks + 3G web access contracts = Low cost netbooks with 3G access.
I always loved the ful featured mini Sony notebooks with 3G access, but they were always too $$.
It looks like the 7950 won't fit due to some capacitors on the motherboard.
There's a post in here somewhere titled "SN25P + 7950" that has a link to more details on why.
