Asus requested Proof of purchase, serial number, and had a bent pin refusal condition when i RMAed a smoking board. Those are really standard paragraphs.
Oh and ASUS took 2 days to get back to me, and 6 weeks to ship me a new board...what is so different from one Asian company to another...

Hotcakes? most sales are done via Consumer OEM and Enterprise/Commercial OEM.
The only reason I see Intel investing in a enthusiast line is that speed records make a solid PR play...there is no way they are making That much money off enthusiast lines.
SSD I'm a huge advocate of Sandforce 2291, I think with new firmware there are literally 0 issues. I've never had an issue and i've had ocz and corsair.
Now if you are are overclocking....forget Ivy, i have a 3570k and it is TERRIBLE --> temp spikes on initial core load which sometimes freezes...
its my personal opinion that your motherboard is overkill for that application. I would go with a B75 chipset instead of a z77, since your not getting an overclocking chip, you don't care about 2-3 extra FPS, so why not just spend 80 bucks instead? the B75 comes with 1 sata6, and 3 sata3, and 1...

Frys pricematches online codes, i called in and they said yeah....they even matched the microcenter 2500k instore pickup only a few days ago. But you have to shell out for tax, that's the only thing.
you still have case fans DVD burner potentially more storage, and potential video card or cpu overclocking which doubles their power. i have the same system and had to upgrade to 700 minimum
You have to pick up the cases yourself with no shipping available but who cares! Buy 1,000 of them and pawn them off for 100 each!
$6.23 for a $115 aluminum quiet case.
