That is why I have 3 cheap builds since all the quality components have excellent warranties but warranty turnaround time is horrible. Oh yeah, don't get mad at yourself if you didn't notice the express method where they require a credit card number but they ship an unit out to you first and then you ship back the faulty unit. I have the CX430 and the XFX 550. The CX 430's fan was going at full speed for a while and making strange sounds but I found that it was my own fault since I didn't align the PSU holes with the case holes since there is that piece of foam padding on top of the case so I have to compress the PSU against the piece of foam while installing.
