I thought £199.99 was bad enough although i am very pleased with my Ud5
my UD5 is fantastic, and I wouldnt change it...

Nevermind all the excitement. The motherboard had a bent corner up at the top right (as in the pcb shows fibers) and the monitor rattles when you pick it up and buzzes when you turn it on. Really not happy
Sorry to hear that

Seems like you can't get anything these days without it having a problem.
Just send them back until your happy. It does take the edge off building a new system though.

I've had no reply from overclockers yet, they sent me one yesterday about the motherboard, which I got after I went out feeling disheartened that I couldn't play with my new toys. Came home to try the monitor and it buzzes when you turn it on and has a bloody screw or something rolling around inside.
Now I have a feeling I'm gonna have to pay postage on these two things and with the monitor weighing in at something stupid I doubt I can afford it until I get paid again!

you shouldn't have to pay return postage for something that has arrived damaged...

Still no reply. I'd ring them off the house phone but having just moved we don't have an active line yet (mobile broadband ***!) and my mobile would mean 35p a minute to sit and listen to music which quite frankly I cannot do. I just want it sorted to be honest. Tempted to wait out the 28 days so I can ring samsung and just get it replaced and just try the motherboard anyway.
The damage is basically at the top right screw hole, the crack goes right across the centre of the O shape for the motherboard screw to go through. Doesn't look like it touches any component lines on the board itself, but it makes me wonder why it looks like that. It certainly wasn't me that did it as I got as far as putting it on my removable tray before I noticed it.

Sorry to be spamming this thread guys, but I've just looked at the cpu as for some silly reason I was intrigued to see if it was the same as the core2 processors, and the top of its scratched in a tiny patch, whats that all about? Anyone elses arrive like that?
Update:
Rang ocuk from my uncles. He said try the board, its booted so i'm gonna stress it out some and see if it falls over at all. If not I'll just settle for a bent ear I guess, don't wanna be without the new board for days on end

your choice buddy......
I'd send it back, don't let them get you to keep a damaged motherboard, even if it's working at the moment, you don't no what other bangs it got along the way.
DPD are awful, my last order was sent on a Friday, arrived in dublin that evening, no service on weekends, it happened to be a bank holiday that monday, so should have arrived on Tuesday, it arrived Wednesday afternoon. Annoying!
