Good grief. :( Lesson learned: Don't buy hardware on Amazon. It's good for small products for healthcare or such or only if you have no other option.

CL30 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Lesson learned: Don't buy hardware on Amazon. It's good for small products for healthcare or such or only if you have no other option. Maybe so, but I have no other option, really. Everything I buy will have to be shipped in from someone; I don't have a PC store nearby. I would think it's not the sender's fault, but the 1000 miles and multiple truck changes during its journey with UPS. However, if the replacement case also happens to be damaged, I'll see if I can drive up to the Micro Center 3.5 hrs away if they can get one. Sad story regarding UPS... Many, many moons ago, I used to fly a Cessna Caravan on a UPS route. I remember sitting at the plane one morning while watching the ground crew do their morning sort after the 757 arrived. I remember watching a Supervisor, who was standing on an elevated platform, pick up and drop several feet down to the ground, box-after-box of large "DELL" computer boxes!! They were large enough that I'm pretty sure they would have had a full-size computer in them. The horror!

CL30 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 The replacement case and GPU came today, and the case is undamaged from what I can tell!! Woohoo! Time to build. Too bad I fly Weds-Thursday or I'd hope to be firing up DCS by then, provided the build goes well and this thing will actually run, lol. i5-9600k @ 5.0 GHz| Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master | 32 GB Trident G.Skill RAM @ 3200 MHz | Thermaltake Floe Riing 360 AIO | Samsung EVO 860 500 GB SSD | Crucial MX500 500 GB M.2 | SanDisk 1TB SSD | EVGA RTX 2080 Ti Ultra Gaming | EVGA G3 850W Gold PSU | Thermaltake View 71 TG Snow Edition | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFC Crosswind pedals | Oculus Rift-S [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
