I've had such a bad run with all things electronic that it is making me depressed. 
Firstly about two weeks ago I bought a Vantec Nexstar 3 2.5" HDD enclosure that was behaving badly when using eSata. The drive would just stop responding and IO would just freeze. So I took the enclosure back and now I'm being told that it can take 3-4 weeks to have it tested and replaced? Is this acceptable these days?
Next I upgraded my motherboard/cpu/ram last night only to find out that my new mb's onboard lan is not working. Windows is not picking it up at all. No unknown device or anything like that. Light does not even come on when I plug in a network cable. So now I have to undo my pc and take in the motherboard and potentially also wait 3-4 weeks for it to be replaced...?! The motherboards is a Asrock Z77 Extreme 6.
Lastly my HTPC's power supply decided to die last night. It's the Antec New Solution NSK2480 case that comes with a power supply. Now I'm really hoping that I can just remove the power supply and have them replace that since it seems Antec gives a three year warranty. If they insist on taking back the whole case I'm screwed again because then I need to take this machine apart as well...
And then again wait for who knows how long...
Anyway hope you guys are having a better week than me.
