Also I would think they will get much stricter about issuing RMA's, potentially to the point where an honest person might get screwed.
I don't agree with knowingly rma'ing a part that you fried. But I am pretty sure this is already accounted for in the price of your parts. Also, say you rma a mobo to the online retailer. It is highly likely that they are going to return that part to the manufacturer or distributor for a credit...I would love to know who foots the shipping bill in that part of the spectrum. I would really be po'd if I were to find out that the manufacturer pays the shipping when it involves a retailer.:mad:
