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 compiled some information on case sizes which will hopefully interest some people. I found myself repeatedly going to a list compiled by Miahallen and I realized that I should just make my own. It's far from complete, but it's a good start.
I wrote a short piece of code to go to NewEgg's...
Since we are all interested in SFF, I thought it would be nice if there was a database that listed the shortest version of each graphics card (it tends to be the determining factor for case size). There are too many graphics cards out there for one person to find the shortest version of each...
I debated where to post this question because it's related to SFF, PSUs, and modding. I settled on this subforum because the main driving force behind this topic is my interest in using my case's space efficiently, which I felt made those interested in SFF systems the most appropriate to query...
