I received my replacement board today. Kudos to eVGA for providing such wonderful customer service.
Firstly, they offered a free replacement. Secondly, they enclosed a free copy of Dark Messiah Might & Magic as a "thank you." Thirdly, the whole process was really smooth. They seem to remind me of Newegg in its early stages. I hope they keep providind similar service in the future.
For those of you who are still waiting, you may want to pounce on this deal, especially now that eVGA is also giving us a free copy of Might & Magic.
