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 gave up on the always upgradeing way of life.
I build a machine and play with it. I just make sure that when I build it, its cream of the crop performance. I've been doing cable management for a while so it usually only takes one go around to get it right.
I've got 3 machines all running with all the sides on.
I do have a metal frame in the back I'm sanding down, but I didn't even consider that a computer part yet since I've got nothing to go in it yet.
My wife pitches a fit if I leave parts all over the place so unless I'm activly working on it or its got problems that I'm trouble shooting - it stays put together.
My side panel is hardly ever on my case, I am in there quite a bit. I work on cable managment a bit at a time. I also send alot of time swapping parts, I have piles and piles or parts that I don't know if they even work. I am also one of the people who, instead of getting something nice, starts small and then upgrades. Therefor, it seems like every two weeks I have something to add. my 250BG drive should be here tomorrow, so naturaly, I am enjoying some open air cooling
