Sometime everyone makes mistakes, I once bought a (then super powerful) system from Carrera Technology dual Pentium Pro 200mhz, i t arrived 7 days later. All excited I turned it on and nothing happened except some beeps.
Called them back and they paid to have it returned and I had to wait another 3 days to get it.
Turned out that the HD plug had come loose DOH!!!!
Anyway, that was about 10 years ago, and it was still in daily use till earlier this year, the only problem it ever had was the battery for the bios ran out.
Good luck with your new puter, if its super noisy thats probably because they used a lot of fans for cooling the super hot components. I believe the GF8 uses over 150 watts all by itself. Still there are some great cases like the antec P180 that if you disable the top fan its dead quiet. Thanks to the sound insulating material and seperate quiet HD compartment.
It's not as pretty as yours and costs 2/3 times as much though.
