    Velocity Micro Problems - Reasonable Next Steps?

    We agreed to send the machine back. I'm ashamed to say I havent done that yet. I've been in and out of the country for the last three weeks on business. The weekend I was back I had too much to catch up on and didnt get to pull my music library off, which is quite large. VM said they would...

    Moreover, we've agreed to return the machine, and so as to avoid any future problems and to expedite resolution have agreed to the partial refund for the returned machine. I hereby grant VM the discretion to NOT pay that refund if they are able to identify any problems that I caused to the...

    Not that you matter, but it's idiotic to make such presumptions in the face of all of the contradictory evidence previously disclosed. Two of the mother boards had known problems identified by the tech before leaving my house. The other board had problems very similar to the current board...

    We've tried that several times and something else is wrong that hasn't yet been identified. It's not realistic at this point to continue down that road. More senior VM techs need to take a direct look.

    Aww man, don't hold me to any big principles. I'm just flipping coins.

    Velocity Micro Problems - Reasonable Next Steps?

    Dude, do you just read every other word or what? They didnt offer $2,100 + a new computer. They promised $2,100 OR to repair the current machine. This is probably hard to believe, and I'm a little ashamed to say it, but the $2,100 matters very little to me. The principal of feeling...

    My apologies- I thought this thread was dead and I've been swamped at work so I havent checked in a few days. Actually, I've just now had time to go through the annoying process of cleaning a lot of personal information off of my machine to return it to VM, and ran across the HardForum favorite...

    My subsequent posts have all been direct responses to questions, suggestions, and accusations made by other posters. I've just been clarifying the record as they've been raised. If that record is unflattering so be it, but it would seem disingenuous for me to fire bomb my first post and then...

    My understanding of the offer is that they will honor only the Warranty. VM will pay to return the machine, troubleshoot the failures, correct them if possible, and if not rebuild the system with the existing case with a combination of parts that may include a new Mobo, CPU, RAM, Video, and PSU...

    The first build crashed randomly with no software running but a browser. The first rebuild fixed that problem. I don't know what they did, but that problem was fixed. Unfortunately, it still constantly crashed during game play, and was sent back for a second rebuild. The second rebuild was...

    Velocity Micro Problems - Reasonable Next Steps?

    If by shenanigans you're intimating that I'm somehow lying you are way off base. Firstly, when the re-rebuilt machine (yes it has already been built, built again, and built again) stopped functioning completely and I called VM to report the problem, they mentioned that I hadnt logged a call...

    Upon your suggestion I hired an electrician to come out today to test the circuit. It tested at 119 volts and was pretty consistent around the house and into and out of the surge protector. It varied by maybe 0.1 volts at any one location. The electrician said that this was well within the...

    Velocity Micro Problems - Reasonable Next Steps?

    I’m not trained in these matters and I’m not sure what these tests can and cannot detect. I have no reason to believe that VM isn't telling the truth when they state that they did the testing. I now know that some manufacturers include the tests results with their machines when...
