i would send it back, espeicaly as its like a 48 hour job and that is the thnig which you need to be alined proplerly to screw it into your pc. I had a hard time getting a straight one screwed in!
If you would accept it fine, there is nothing wrong with sending back a damaged product which i know i would likely be selling soon as well.

I dont think anyone would accept a broken product but the fact its only a bent piece of metal which is all it is there for is supporting the card then I would not class it as being broke, it should have at least of being tested before submiting and RMA I think.

Thanks Chronictank & 8igdave
Before I start, I'll finish...this thread really should now just die, the RMA is in place, no cost to me, only a few days and all will be well.
All I wanted at the start of the thread is confirmation on the bend in the metal, not some silly comments! These forums should be a place for all to help each other in a friendly spirit.
If you want to accept a £200 card thats obviously damaged and has maybe used by the couriers as football practice then go ahead but I actually buy my own stuff and thus dont want to waste £200 if I void the warrenty, also out of principle I just dont want a damaged good.
Anyway, thanks to all those who offered me some wisdom and their time to post, most appreciated
Peace all

If you were to rma that card with a bent peioce of metal say 4 months later due to a technical fault they may turn round and say you caused the damage and thats why its not working even though you got it like that. I think you made the right decision.
Just hope you dont get a problem with city link on the return one

Thats what I was thinking, they could easily blame me and i'd lose my £200!
I think I might buy the lads at my local city link depot a football so that they will use that instead
Mine came with minor damage, luckily it was the part of the box where the cables were and not the card so it was okay. I was suprised that the box managed to get damaged but one of the corners of the cardboard box it was packed in was completely crushed.
