Do Not Open Your Cases Anymore

People may have issues getting a MMM case open, these are the same people who repeatedly drive their truck into a tree and then complain about its poor build quality and materials. These people also take drool breaks at work and pick their nose constantly.

The fan wire is an issue, not a possible issue. Have you taken a MMM apart yet, or do you even have one? The fan wire is routed between the 2 caps closest to the neg bullet. The slot in the case lip is not directly lined up with that routing so the wire naturally falls in a location that can be crimped.

Yes, I do have one.. in fact 4 of them. The only one I have opened was the one that I received the updated Case for after they sent the updated V3 to me. The other 3, no, I have not opened. I have no reason to... as.. they are under warranty.. and if they fail.. I'll send it in to Castle for Warranty Repair.

Helps explain this response:

If you look at MOST electronics, if not all, there are Warranty stickers on the seals of them.. stating "Warranty Void" if broken. They don;t want consumers toying in the stuff.
Do you crack open your Home Theater receiver to look for defects and fix/mod it? Probably not.

Just leave it alone... If it fries the fan due to the fan wires, then it's on them to fix. Everything else.. if it fries something due to the failure.. Talk to Castle and work with them.

Getting pissed because they are starting to push a normal policy.. is a bit silly.

How about a little empathy for the average dude that only has one? How many races do I want to miss to do a VERY basic repair? Now that's silly...and yes, I would crack open my home theater to fix a fan. How about this idea. Fix it and THEN send them out?
