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 used to live in california where they have Fry's computer store--kind of like the costco or sam's club of computers. Is there anything similar on the east coast particularly in the DC area?
umm... there is a comp usa on rockville pike.. there is also a small store there, it wasn't too great..
i went to one called advance2000 in alexandria va.. it is like the cheap generic crap.. but they have good prices for a walk in store.. chinese peopel run it, one of those types of places..
also.. in i think beltsville or near there, there is a place called pcretro.. they have some decent deals on used stuff.. especially if you want a pIII with a 20gb hard drive and 256mb of ram for $100...
