What? take the loss? you must be kidding mate.
I think thats a bit unfair man.
I've built my own PC's for ages, and I've never done something like this.....its bad enough that I cant believe I did this, but I shouldnt take the loss.
I've got so much stuff on that Hard Drive.
I've been dealing with PC's for about 10 years and I've never done something this stupid, I feel bad enough as it is
