Thread: Opus has some good people working for them

I was going to revive my original thread about my 120W psu problem:

opus120 won't start comp

But instead you can have the cliff notes:

• psu wouldn't power mobo

• sent psu and mobo to opus and they "matched" the psu to the mobo

• worked for a week and died again

• sent back to opus again

Here we pick up with some email exchanges:

At this point I made a few calls (it took him a couple days to get to it). He estimated $50 for parts/labor. His email today:

All good. The total cost with shipping will be $30. Our accounting department will contact you on monday.

I found the source of the water leak and I should be back running again next week. I think he might have been testing me at first to see if I'd take responsibility for the damage before he offered to fix it. I don't mind though, he's a damn nice guy. We're almost on a first name basis now
