    Fractal design cases are so cheaply made =\

    Yes, the bag of screws labelled "For Hard drives" were the wrong screws, and I definitely over-torqued it with this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12397062/IMG_20141007_103411.jpg

    Fractal design cases are so cheaply made =\

    I've gone through a dozen coolermaster (Since the ATC210) and corsair cases, they had some minor issues, but never an issue with cheap screws/steel. I can fix a stripped screw hole in my case, I can't fix a broken screw stuck IN a hole, and neither can Fractal's customer service. The only...

    Fractal design cases are so cheaply made =\

    Picked up a Arc Mini R2 and a Node 304 (MatX SLI Gaming build + NAS build). First thing I realize is how soft the steel is. I stripped out 4 screw holes in 2 cases from hand tighetning thumb screws. Then while installing my WD 6TB Red's, I had screws shear off inside the drive. What kind of...

    Who provides the bandwidth for Steam?

    Whoever it is, I hope they charge less so valve can afford 100+ tick servers :rolleyes:

    Can't access FS/FT forums

    Thanks, and sorry about asking, I saw one other thread whereby an admin replied, but no reason was given as to why the other user was having similar issues. Cheers :)

    Can't access FS/FT forums

    Hi, I've been away for awhile and came back to check FS/FT, but I can't seem to get in, it says I don't have access/my account is awaiting activation. Was I in violation of some rule? Thanks

    Need help choosing 1TB HDD for a RAID 1 (mirror). Already made a big mistake.

    Am3+ sli?

    6gbps and a good RAID controller is going to be a definite must, with everyone waiting on the vertex 3 (and other SF2k SSD's), I'm sooooooo excited, impatient and nervous

    Am3+ sli?

    I currently have a 480, I plan to get a 590 later on, but from what I've read, it seems I can get sli working on a cf board (hopefully that remains true when bulldozer is released) thanks for the input though :)

    Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    I've read about that, but does the SLI performance suffer as a result?

    Rumour: Bulldozer 50% Faster than Core i7 and Phenom II.

    The claims by AMD are promising, but I think the only thing that is preventing me from jumping onto the bulldozer bandwagon is the imminent lack of SLI motherboards for AM3+. Been on AMD since the K6 days, would be sad to jump onto Intel just for SLI when their chips seem to finally be on...

    Am3+ sli?

    With Bulldozer scheduled for release within the next 3-4 months or so, i wonder if we might witness the miracle birth of a new SLI capable AMD motherboard? god knows the 980a is old. Anyone got any insight?
