Why small Parts stores ROCK
ok, just an update on my last post....
I rang up Panda Computer earlier today. (Yes, they're open on Sunday) Had a talk to the owner, laid out the evidence before her, and even though the motherboard was bought 21st June last year, she said bring it down.
I love panda. Seriously. It's one of those pokey little tech stores run by a bunch of tiny grinning Asians, literally just around the corner from my place. I've been going to that place for years, recommended it like hell to friends, and I've spent well over 10K there, so she knows I'm not a fuckwit, and they freakin' love me :) (Especially since I threw someone out of the store on their ear for them a couple years ago)
So we're down there, I'm poking the motherboard for her and showing the fuckedness, then she has a poke, and says "Eh, fuckit" and writes out a RMA. Now she knows this is the one for my main machine, and as I'm sitting there bitching about having to wait for Asus to get off their arses and admit it's fucked, she disappears out into the back room and comes back with...
A gigabyte K8NS Ultra-939.
For me.
Free.
She's gonna RMA the bastard mobo and just keep sending it back until Asus give up and issue her a credit note. I've offered to pay for the mobo, but she doesn't give a rats arse and said to just keep it, and she'll stick the RMA on a store credit for me because the hardware was hosed, and she knows I didn't break it by being an ass or overclocking.
jesus CHRIST I love that store...And if you live in Melbourne, go, go GO! There's a reason why that store's been there for so long..they actually take care of techs who know what they're doing
(arsehole lusers are another story....)
