I am not even mad, I am so disappointed. I am sure tomorrow the shock will wear off and I will get the "mad".

The odds of me getting this board in, any time soon, is slim to none. I built my new system around this and am totally dejected that I might have to adjust mid stream...

So sad.

The worst part is I don't even know if that connector will even matter to me. But the idea that it was broken, right out of the box makes me want to hurl.

I hope no one else encounters this.
woa wtf? what shipping company delivered it? :o this is more of a shipping/newegg rma problem, not really a board problem...

so newegg said they cant rma the board cause they dont have any stock?
could you please post a picture of the board, spdif and package or pm it to me?

the board should still work fine, since you dont plan to use it anyways ask newegg to inform you when they have the board in stock again so they can swap it. its obviously a shipping problem and i dont think youd have any problems getting the board replaced, and until then just use the board, there shouldnt be anything else wrong with it, but then again, if they kicked it around hard enough to break off the spdif then there might be something else wrong with it
