Unfortunately, I have both good news, bad news, and a question...

The good news, my order arrived from NCIX today, the EK FC waterblock and Swiftech Apogee XT look sweet, and I did, in fact, manage to get my hands on 6 AP-15s for my rads.



The bad news, the baggie for the MCR220's screws comitted suicide and let the screws escape into the box, I'm not sure if that's the cause or not, but there is a big chip in the finish on one of the end tanks of the 220.



The questions is, is this normal?



By this, I'm refering to the rust coloured areas visible on the fins of both the MCR220 and 420s, and on the end wall of the MCR420. I'm kind of concerned since I don't recall seeing any pics showing similar discolouration before, and I don't want to make a potentially expensive mistake by not taking action if I need to. (The flash makes it look slightly worse than it really is.)

Regarding the paint chip on the 220, I could touch it up myself, but I doubt it would be a perfect touchup, and it would probably bug me, when combined with the discolouration, I'm wondering if I need to think about an RMA.

Can anyone offer some insight?

Thank you in advance.
