That wasn't what I was referring to there. A switch is far cheaper to replace then a supply or board even with the recent price drops seen on boards and supplies alike. Now all he has to do is email NZXT about their goof up! Otherwise that's one of the better made cases to look at.

Well, fair enough, but you did say factory defect of hardware. Last I looked a case was hardware...

Nonetheless, who cares? Still a pain in the butt to have to get it fixed. That sucks.

Gigabyte doesn't have to bad a product. But unlike Asus or MSI preferred here despite what someone else will jump in here and say otherwise they seem to lack a little on the online support. I will give Asus especially along with MSI a pat on the back for the way their support links are far easier to use. You can look up the model faster for driver updates, newer bios versions, download of the user's manual, and some utilities.

I definitely prefer the nForce 4 chipset over VIA or SIS. For a look at one review on that model go to http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=87

Asus and MSI? Tech support? Not bloody likely. If you can't download, don't bother trying to reach them. They're about as much good as teats on a bull. Especially Asus. Their online documentation is pretty bad too. But I love them sooo much.. *sigh*
