If you are low on money why don't you ebay the c0 to offset the cost instead?
Surprisingly, a lot of people. This is one of the reasons we don't do *any* returns/exchanges on CPUs. Because of the market we cater to (overclockers) returns would be so heavily abused we'd be out of business in a flash.
