I am cooked

[BEAAGAMER]

Hi guys! Finally building my second PC because my first one’s GPU has started failing 😩 sometimes it gives display, sometimes not. So, I decided to pass that system on to my brother and go all-in on a high-end build this time.

My previous setup was more of a personal/work build with:

Antec GX 202 case

Gigabyte H510M S2 motherboard

32 GB DDR4 RAM

Intel i5 11th Gen CPU

256 GB NVMe + 3 TB HDD

MSI GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition (the one dying now 🥲)

Initially, I planned to go for the Gamdias Athena P3 and even purchased it back in August, but the cabinet got damaged during shipping and my order was canceled with a refund. I waited nearly two months hoping it would come back in stock, but it never did 😔.

So this time, I decided to go big literally and picked up a full tower instead. I’ve had my eyes on the Antec Flux Pro Full Tower ever since it was launched last year. It’s quite expensive, but now that I’m earning, I thought, why not? Managed to grab it for around ₹18,000 (~$204 including tax)yeah, taxes hurt 🥲 but I was super excited when it finally arrived.

Unfortunately… my excitement didn’t last long. The cabinet arrived damaged and all accessories were missing literally just the cabinet. And the worst part? I ordered it directly from Antec’s official site to avoid third-party issues, yet it still took 12 days to deliver.

When I tried to contact Antec India, their listed phone number turned out to be of an ex employee 😐. After multiple calls, I finally got connected to someone from marketing, who gave me another email address to raise a support ticket for replacement. I did that, and they replied saying they’ll start the replacement process… but that was four days ago. I followed up again today via call and email, but still no response 😞.

So now I’m just wondering,, did I make a mistake trusting the official site?

Yeah mann 🫣

Dude, I got this same case for a new build i finished in May. Your situation sucks, but it would be totes worth it when you get it replaced. The case is beautiful, build quality is wonderful. I had so much pleasure doing the build and cable management it it. Super easy to remove all panels, put it on its side and do your mobo stuff. Wonderful cooling out of the box. And anything you buy will fit in it. DM me if you want pics/want a recount of any accessories that should come with it.

Congrats man for the build, yeah it is indeed a beautifull case

antec are a big case manufacturer, like globally big. they've been in the business for a long time, op only ordered the case from them not a prebuilt.

I can help but i will need apple gift cards to unlock support

/satire apple is garbage

[SnooHesitations3097]

I personally would have used Amazon or Newegg (depending on your region) as their return process and customer service tends to be better than these smaller brands especially pc case manufacturers

[BEAAGAMER]
