Mobo survival story

I recently relocated(again) and had my rig shipped via USPS(BAD idea). When it arrived, I almost fainted. lol The case-Thermaltake Armor- was destroyed beyond all recognition and everything inside was loose and bouncing around. The mobo ( MSI P55-GD55) was still attached to standoffs, but the mounting plate was dislodged and severely bent. After I removed the board from plate, it still retained a major warp to it. After removing everything and rehousing it in a POS case, would you believe EVERYTHING still works?? I sent a testimonial email w pics to MSI, and they posted it in their newsletter, and are considering RMA! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/MSI.ComputerUS See pics here- http://www.bigboyz-toyz.com/page.php?14

Damn, I would have cried if my rig showed up like that. Amazing it still works.

Almost did.lol Yeah I cant believe it still works. Looks like hell in that POS case with radiator all zip tied to the side though. lol

Did you insure you package and did you contact UPS.

Oh,yeah. Already filed the claim online and rec'd payment yesterday afternoon. Amazingly fast! So now I'm case shopping.

Good to hear that. Corsair 600t or 800d would be my choices.

Ooh. That 800d Obsidian is SWEET:) Had a chance to pick up an Antec 900 cheap, but since I'm on water anyhow I don't need all the fans it has (and all the dust it sucks in either) lol
