I RMA a gigabyte motherboard once. After I got it back one of the heat sink was loose, so I had to attached to the board with a zip tie.
MIR are worse. they are outsourced to companies that specialize in mismanaging those to maximize the chance of not having to pay you. MIRs are a scam. sometimes you do get it, but its not worth the effort and often times you don't get it at all.
Sorry to hear about your RMA story with MSI. However, given your history of videocards, I cannot believe that 3 out of 8 graphics cards you purchased failed; that's bad luck. It may be that:
1) Your case is very poorly ventilated
2) You have cheap power supplies that eventually cause component failure
3) You have poor electrical current regulation through the wall socket
4) There were a series of poor batches of cards and you happen to the unlucky dude.
There was a 30 dollar MIR for my 4850. I purchased it in Oct 2008. I sent in the MIR in Oct 2008. I didnt get the rebate check until July 09 lmao.
i RMA'ed a raptor to WD. 1 week after sending it out, i got a shipping notice for a velociraptor (same size) coming my way. 2 days later, i had a brand new drive with a good speed upgrade.
Update 3/23: Called them yesterday because I still haven't received my check. It's been 10 days since they said they would mail it out. Howard answered my call and told me he would email me once he found out the status. Got home after work and still no email so I called and emailed him to leave him a message. He finally emailed me back telling me the check would be mailed by Friday.... I wouldn't be surprised if after Friday they tell me to wait 5-10 more business days. That seems to be the norm. MSI = Fail
thats true about the company rarely writing checks. i sent in a rebate for an msi 4830 and never got it...
companies are more important than people.
