I know better than to say "idiot-proof".
The offspring was kind enough to spec a bunch of computer components on NewEgg.com. I dutifully ordered. I got everything laid out and started by trying to put the processor on the motherboard. Surprise - incompatible. Not surprising - no returns allowed.
I'm curious if there are there any sites for purchasing components that will check your order for compatibility before checkout. A simple "did you know your CPU won't fit that motherboard" would have saved money and time.
I know, I know. I am "saving" money at NewEgg by my taking responsibility for picking the components. It still costs them cusotmer service time to have bad orders. This one will cost me a week of no computer anything I lose upgrading to the right part.
Thanks,
