recent return policy?
oh man don't try to bring back a mobo/cpu combo with a case still on it
though! i had THE WORST experience where i bought it, took it home, it
wouldn't post.. took it back same day, and they wanted to hold it for over a
WEEK while they check to see if >I< broke it. all that because i brought it
in a case, so i asked to borrow a screw driver and i'd take it out the case,
and they said that it was "to late" for that.. finally 1/2 hour after the
store closed i talked my way up to the PIC and got it "okayed" to replace
the darned thing
