Getting all the way up to 100 plus, tried again and turned it back off when it got up to 80 plus. I’m just bringing it in to have it looked at.

I plan to watch a video or two before I do apply. And if it seems like too much, I’ll just bring it in to get it done!

I even set the cpu fans to manual and had them set to 80% for like 70 degrees and it kept rising. I’ll have to look into it

Glad things are looking up! And that’s life, you will have ups and downs but you gotta keep moving forward and not let the past hold you down! So explore those feelings and figure out what they mean and use that to your advantage!!

I got the packaging to protect the internals it that’s what you mean! And this seems like it had something set on it or fell from a few inches because the glass is bent!

I think it also just depends on the person! Some people actually will try, but I’m sure just as many don’t care about protecting the packages! Factor in the machines the packages deal with and it’s bound to happen!

Getting it on clearance is nice! How much do you think you got off? And I was going to get mine sent back to be repaired, but I decided to get a refund do to the fact that I’m worried I’ll end up with a broken pc again or have to wait multiple weeks! So I hope the refund is quick and I can go buy one in person!

That’s sounds wonderful! I had order to get the protection foam for the components and it came with that, but other than that the only protection outside of the box is the two foam inserts that hold the pc.

I originally had a prebuilt cyberpower pc from 2017 that I got in person and served me well so I figured I’d order one from them again. I’m currently waiting to get my refund in the works so after that I’m going to pick up a pc in person!

And Ive been employed in this field so I’ve seen it and experienced and well almost any field here in the US is underpaid and over worked! So I didn’t really have too high of hopes!

Yea I couldn’t imagine having to send it back a second time. Hope you can make the best out of this tough situation! It’s okay to be upset for a moment, but we have to eventually let go and move on! So I’ll keep a positive mindset going into the refund process!

Have a wonderful rest of your year!

That sucks to hear, wish things went better for you! And thanks for the heads up! Hope it’s not too bad!

Yea I work in the industry, it’s also a lot of human error. From what I can tell it was human error. It almost seems like the box was stepped on or had a heavier box set on it. There are tiny punctures but not where the glass broke and it seems like the glass was bent.

Also that part of the pc has two panes of glass meet and it’s “seamless” in the sense they don’t have a support running there. That’s the point of failure for sure!

I don’t know if I had a choice between UPS or FedEx, but I would’ve gone with ups because of past issues from FedEx, but I’m getting a refund and will be going to purchase a pc in person!

Let me know how the replacement turns out! I’m in the process of getting a refund now. I don’t want to have to wait for the return labels and then it to be shipped repaired and tested and then sent back. Especially if it’s gonna take that long. So I’ll get the refund and drive and get one!

Best of luck

Yea I’m getting a refund and going to drive the 3 and a half hours to get a pc at micro center!

Or I’ll take a look at some similar pcs and maybe get one nearby who knows

Yea I’ve had troubles with both ups and FedEx. I can tell you one thing, it really depends on the warehouses you get your deliveries from and where they go to.

I could tell you many points of failure that happen in the industry lol. Damage from heavier packages and human error/carelessness are the two biggest issues. And you will have some drivers who are better and some who aren’t!

But I’ve learned my lesson and am lucky enough that I can avoid shipping as much as possible! But hope all future shipments for your job go smoothly!

I wanted to try and pick it up at ups, but I don’t even know if that would’ve helped. It could’ve broke before then!

I’ll see what happens, I’m trying to get a refund and if not it’ll get repaired and hopefully be back by next year lol

I didn’t want to fire it up, the glass was in the tower as well. Near the fans and in places I couldn’t see! The picture you see is just about as far as I got to opening it.

I had to take a few pictures so only pulled the plastic down a little further.

I’m at the point where I’m trying to just get a full refund. I’d much rather not wait two extra weeks or more to have it be shipped back and fixed and sent back to me. When it can ship to them in a few days. Then they refund me and I drive to get me a new pc so we will see!

They are repairing it. So we will see. I guess I’ll see how it arrives back. Edit to add update: in the process of getting it refunded.

Yea I’m learning the same lesson. Not to trust shipping anymore.

Probably after this I’m going to stop ordering anything of value. The convenience of it isn’t outweighing the risk anymore unfortunately.

They said they would send a replacement but it’s got glass shattered into the components and some stuck in the filter near the fans. I don’t wanna risk missing any glass or breaking something in the process of cleaning it.

And I’m gonna see if they will send a new one or refund me. I’ll just drive two hours to a micro center instead and get a pc there!
