If only I wasn't forced to get a machine when I did...

BTW, 680i chipset sucks IIRC. I do not remember specifically why... but it sucks. If I recall correctly, 650i was a better solution in general, with a couple tradeoffs. Look it up, might be worth knowing...

Watch out, several contacts of mine have been screwed over by them.

Aye they sold me a bad motherboard, they did. Sent it back, got no refund. Meh. The other $1500 of the order was good though, so I'm not terribly concerned. Since then I've probably spent $4,000+ (built computers for family+friends) there, nothing but good experiences. I think when you're buying computer hardware, it's a battle of wits no matter where you buy from... it's nigh impossible to prove you did/did not wreck something so the companies basically have to say, "as is" on a lot of stuff...
