New case with faulty PSU

[barnettgs]

I had built a system and a couple of months later, PSU has failed. The PSU was included in case when bought. Would you:

1) Stripped it down and take case with PSU back to shop for free exchange under 1 year warranty

2) Replace with new PSU which means forking out money but it's few mins job

Obviously, option 2 is sensible, right?

I have realised that in the future, it is best to get case and psu separately for much less hassle, should psu fails within 1 year warranty. What do you think?

It was a budget case with PSU but does it matters?

Whats wrong with doing 1) and 2) since 1) doesn't cost anything. You'll end up with an extra PSU which you can either sell or keep as a backup.

Option 1 may not cost anything but your time stripping it down and then rebuild it once replacement case arrived. Again, replacement case will come with another crappy PSU so better buy a quality PSU.

I have learned a lesson anyway.
