• 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.

Is this worth $1000???
 
Seems a bit hight to me. I'd guess if you priced up all those parts on newegg it'd come out to about $900, but then you'd have to build it yourself.

Also that's a horrible CPU choice for a htpc. It'll run hot and need a lot of juice. A lowend Core2Duo or even an X2 3800 would be better imo.
 
I run a Prescott core P4 3.2ghz oc'd to 3.8ghz in my htpc and it runs just fine, and sold and has done so for the last 18months.
