I only ordered a few times from Monarch, but was happy each time I did. The one time I had a problem (a poorly packaged motherboard by DFI...it was DFI that did the poor packaging, not Monarch) The Monarch rep overnighted a new mobo to me and paid for my shipping the messed up one back. He...

Possible to sticky this thread??? Ppls still getting boards with this damage...need to know to go to DFI-STreet.com and email Angry_Games in their forum. my sig left me for an Honorary Guru...

Email angry@dfi-street.com if your Ultra-D motherboard suffered damage similar to what is described at the top of this post. Sounds like DFI is getting ready to do something. my sig left me for an Honorary Guru...

Finally I'm getting somewhere, thanks in whole to Monarch Computers. I got a call today from one of their managers. They will accept shipping charges for both of the motherboards I have AND will have a new one (tested) delivered to me on Saturday! HUGE KUDOS to this company for responding like...

OK, now I'm pissed off. I got my "new" board from Monarch today. I'm almost positive it is a refurbished or repackaged board from Monarch. Two reasons for believing this: 1. The only thing in the box was the motherboard and the audio module. There were no manuals, no driver disks, no sata OR...

I'll try not to take that personally, now leave me alone to enjoy my freedom fries. my sig left me for an Honorary Guru...

hah! beat you to it...Monarch is cross shipping my new board. I am holding onto the bad board until I hear from DFI, hopefully in the next day or two. my sig left me for an Honorary Guru...

"Pay the shipping and be done with it. It pays to be aware of the Warranty terms of any product you buy. Chaintech has the same policy. The shipping will cost about six bucks. That's only (2) Slurpees for you! " Not a freakin chance...this was NOT my problem and I will NOT take responsibility...

It doesn't have anything to do with where you buy it, it's damaged because of the way it's packed. The same damage is seen from Newegg, ZZF and Monarch...probably others too, but that's what I have so far. my sig left me for an Honorary Guru...

one time bump...c'mon all the other forums have lots to say about this... my sig left me for an Honorary Guru...
