The ASUS P5B Deluxe or GIGABYTE QS6 mobo?

Newegg and Monarchcomputers

Nope, they are a bit bigger then that... but I think they have a limited staff... I have had good luck with them responding to me, but I have to call between normal business hours... and if they dont answer you can leave a message, email them, or try again in a half hour... its best to call between 9:00-5:00 EST

They have been working hard at helping people... From what Ive seen, from other people who have purchased that they were having a tough time with this area, and from my experiance they are going way out of their way to try and help people and to correct the problem... I even got a very nice man personal cell phone number when I had problems...

I recommend them, because unlike newegg and other large sale companies when they need to do an RMA they work hard at solving the issue, even paying for and offering overnight delivery on certain items.

Their service is what I have come to expect from my local (A real Mom and Pop type shop) small store shop JNCS (www.jncs.com)! I just couldnt buy from JNCS because I would have had to pay for taxes. JNCS is only open on weekdays, but they too have been amazing...

If you want an Item and know how to use it... I would buy it from newegg... But if you have tech issues, you will have to come to a place like this to solve your problems... This isnt the case with JNCS or Monarch. They will step up and help you to the best of their ability...

Also I know that Monarch pays for RMA shipping... at least in my experiance...

If you continue to have problems contacting Monarch... Give me a PM... I will get you in touch with a man that will help you... I dont want to give everyone his email cause it might drive the man insaine...

Monarch are closed on the weekend... I received my replacement board yesterday. Blah, Now I got to deal with newegg returns... My video card is gone... I am having really bad luck.

That's sounds cool. Well, just came back from the local PC Vending Show with the GIGABYTE DQ6. I paid $15 than if I had gotten it from NEWEGG. But at least if something goes wrong, I won't be waiting for 2 week turn around time. It's a small price to pay for convenience.
Now to download the updates just incase I need 'em.

I got a Alphacool... Should fit ANY Core2Duo made Mobo... Keeps it cool too...

Though I must complain... You put on the Artic Silver... put on the waterblock... carefully screw it down... then you attach the hoses and you see the whole block rotate. It wont fall off cause the block is held on by a single screw... but it will rotate... I created a little bracket out of plexiglass that fits into the bottom of the bracket, and goes up against the Block... Keeps it from rotating... and works great!

Thanks I'll keep it in mind but, I think I'll stay away from extravagant hydro-coolers for now. I just needed a simple cooler as of this writing.

I have sorta the same deal here in NY. I have two 1gigabit network cards I bought from the local guy, who told me recently that because I don't buy too much from him he can't accept my credit card purchases", anyway I can't return the two NICS which don't work in any of my 7 PC's. They are SYBA-GA VIA Gigabit NICs. I'm out $30. But when this guy comes through for me on other stuff he's been my ace in a whole. His store is soooo crammed with PC Goodies, glowing things & non-pc related electronics that it definetly is my FAO Schwartz toy store for PC parts.

I didn't know about them. Thanks I'll check 'em out now.

Try Ebay... I bet you someone is selling theres, and you could probably get it for 1/2 off, and the warrenty will be good for a few years if it is a RETAIL version.
