New gaming rig
EHM-0654 Murray:
I believe it was one of our two dog walkers (so infinite luck came into play...)
Any how, silly Asus sent it back unfixed with a "customer induced damage" sticker on it, so I'm no better off than when the d**n thing was with them. Can't afford a new Striker II Extreme just yet (nor the rest of the WC loop), so it may all have to wait for some months... :(
EHM-1997 Alexander:
How did you break it?
Or was it sent to you broken by te ebay seller all the way back in november?
EHM-0654 Murray:
I trusted the vendor and his "cosmetic damage, works fine", but Asus were kind enough to put some little arrow stickers marking all the damaged components, and I'm long beyond eBay's complaints period now. Chalk it up to experience, move on, start saving the £200 for a new one. It might not all be terrible, I have an ISA that I haven't touched in 5+ years, so once I get my statement next month I'll look at withdrawing enough money from it to get the new mobo.
EHM-1997 Alexander:
Aye,
I would never buy electronics from ebay myself.
EHM-0654 Murray:
Now I'm freed from the Striker II, I'm giving serious thought to getting a Rampage III Extreme instead of a new Striker II. Would let me run a Core processor, nice properly new chipset and so forth. Only problem is the CPUs for Socket 1366 aren't dirt cheap.
