(Followup snipped to appropriate newsgroups)

In *my* situation, I bought a "new" motherboard from Frys, took it
home and discovered it was physically broken and chipped.  Tried it
anyway, but obviously it was quite dead.  Took it back, no problem
there.
However, returning the next day to look for more motherboards, I found
the EXACT motherboard I had returned (remember, it's physically
cracked and broken), back on the shelf.

At that point I left and haven't been back to their stores.  I had
been spending about $500/day in Frys (I bought a lot of equipment for
clients)
