Hoping I can get support through Biostar as opposed to Z-buy. I want a return, not a refund.



What happened?

I got mine today. The case is in very good shape, no scratches. Now all I need is a processor. What CPUre you guys using. Also I herd that the power supply cant handle a 6800, so I guess I will slap a 6600 in it.
 
It won't post at all. Not sure if it has an internal speaker so I found one. Nope, still no post codes. Tried removing everything and I know my stuff works since I've already tested them in my old MSI K8N Neo Platinum.

My Nec 3520a just came in too. This was going to be a wicked second box 🙁

Edit: I'm my major disappointment, I left out the whole reason of why I posted 😛
 
well i went with media center one ($415 w/ a64 3000+) and it is pretty sweet,only problem is is that the network jack doesnt work. no link lights or anything. ill putz around with it for a bit, but it will be cheaper to get a usb adapter than to ship it back to get it fixed which kind of sucks. other than that, its a beautiful case. oh and they threw in a wireless logitec desktop which i dont htink was supposed to be included, so i cant really complain

I'm sure that Biostar will be able to help you out. Check with them and keep us posted. Sorry that you got a bad sample.

Does anyone have an idea of what kind of case badge to use to hide that friggin 'Cisnet' insignia.

Haven't used a 6800 in it but I'm using a 6600GT and it seems to work just fine.
 
Took them roughly 24 hours to email me back. I'm waiting on another reply tomorrow around 10pm-12am EST.

Just a basic inquery of what I tried to use and their awareness of how picky the 200P is with ram. Recommended I not use a GeForce 2. Good thing I tried various PCI and AGP cards to no avail. Explained to them that these were Cisnet systems also so before I send it back, I (and we'll) know if they'll warranty it. Their reply email was typed out in good English atleast. I feared I was going to get the Engrish.
 
Alright folks I got a return email and I'm SOL.

If you need service and support, I would suggest lying to them about where you got it from. Probably ask if you can ship just the board back if you can get service. If you don't, they'll fall back on their "only support authorized dealers" thing. Pretty crappy if you ask me.

I remember RMAing a Gainward GeForce4 and all it took was a less than five minute phone call to have them send me a replacement. Basically a "Hello? What's your card? What's your address? Your new one is in the mail, thanks!".

Did you check with Z-Buy? I think the vendor should have a warranty on it.

His original post said that he did. However, he is afraid that z-buy will refund his money because they do not have any more units.

Yep. Exactly. However I just sent an email to Z-Buy yesterday night :| No reply yet.
 
Sorry to bring this thread back up

Sent my RMA to Z-Buy about June 30th. Been almost a month with several emails unanswered. Called their customer service 800 number (which you can only get on their email sales flyer or doing a whois on their domain). Some lady with a bad FOB accent took my call and told me I can request a refund which will take 5-7 days or I can wait for my RMA. RMA services take 4 to 7 weeks. You can guess what I opted for. Hopefully I don't get hit with a restocking fee and hopefully they read my email that says if there is a restocking fee, I'll wait for my RMA.

Sigh, this would have been nice to have but I've spent enough time in the dark and I just want my money back. Z-buy appears to be good if you get your goods, well, good. Otherwise I'm going to avoid them because I don't like waiting 1-2 months for an RMA if something does go wrong. Not to mention they seem to be refusing to answer any of my emails at all.
 
damn, wish this was up last week. sent mine back mid last week. network port didnt work and system would reboot if anything was plugged into the front usb ports. maybe ill give them a call tomorrow just to make sure they got it and to see if they might process it a bit faster if i start requesting a refund. i opted for the whole system which was $400 and included a wireless desktop, dvd burner, tv tuner, 3000+ and half a gig of memory.
