The onboard Adaptec chip is only $49.  I don't know how much they would
charge for a card.  I don't see any reason why you would have to send
back the system (unless they would return all of your money and you could
buy a decent computer) just to put in the chip.  The socket is already
on the motherboard.

How did you manage to get approved for a new motherboard?  I almost returned
my system when I say the daughter-board hack that was stuck onto my new
Pantera 90 system.  I called them many times, and was even polite and rational
for about the first 20 calls, and I had no luck.  I should have taken advantage
of the 30-day return/refund offer and bought another system back then.
