What to do with $840 Worth of Broken Computer Parts?

[BP-Revo]

By the sounds of it, this uncle has enough money where believing in receipts doesn't matter, though it would be handy right now...

You should find out when the cards were released and see if you can get warranty work based off that.

What I'm saying is, say the card was released May 08, and has a 2 year warranty. So even if you were to get it right when it came out, it would still, logically, have to be under warranty until May 2010. You can try reasoning with the customer support (say you got it as a gift, which you did) to see if you can get them to do a 1 time courtesy replacement.
