Yeah, the first Crosshair V board I ordered arrived faulty. I could see the miss package easily. Part of the board chewed throught the bottom of the box. I ordered it from Porta-Tech and it took me couple months to get my RMA and money setteled. I ordered my new V from the egg and tho it showed the same kind of wear in the box it was not as bad. The board worked very well. But the thing is, when we get our new 'stuff' and go thru all the tasks of getting everything installed and assembled and in working order, and all the trouble and work we do to get the thing together, all those hard hours, and then push that start button, and the hours of trying to get it to work,(forums,live chat,phone calls,swapping out,) and only to find out it is bad, It is like a punch in the(face,gut,heart,breadbasket). Everyone here knows that feeling. All the money. All the hours. All the planning. All shot to that place where the sun does not shine. And then we have to go thru all that process to get it returned and a replacement. And what do we get from all the trouble for it? Nothing! I guess my (free time,hobby,job,intrest) is just not important to the ones responsible. Maybe I should just sit in the corner and pout.
What I would like to say is this. Please protect your product in a good enough package so it will arrive to the people who buy your product in exellent shape. Or it might turn out that you will have less product to ship. Thanks.
