ESC Warranty
My first preference is to purchase a product for which I will not have to exercise any warranty options ESC seems to be a reputable outfit (my impression from their web page) They take returns for dead on arrival and for other reasons. There doesn't seem to be one warranty policy. They appear to be some type of wholsale distributor and try to direct you back to the manufacturer for warranty.
They seem rather selective in the components they carry, fewer components but of a higher quality. They sell some individually but others such as the CD ROM only if it is in an installation. They seem to specialize in the guts..Motherboard, case, CPU and RAM. My fear is that if I buy an ABIT LX6 from a broad based discounter they will pull the old revision off the shelf and put me in a position of having to return it.
Here are some exerts from the warranty page
