New PC Build

This whole Micron nonsense about requiring five years of "scheduled maintenance" is pushing the legal limits—if it isn't already breaking them. Honestly, the idea that you have to drop off your personal computer at a service center just for "routine maintenance" is an insult to common sense and the customers who pay their bills. I can't help but wonder what happens when an accountant or an architect actually needs to take their PC in for a few days for this "maintenance"...
Over the last 25 years, I’ve seen just about everything—from stickers hanging off the side of a case to those ridiculous "branded" component names—where the invoice lists ten different parts, but the reality is pure Monty Python. There are plenty of much more ethical ways to squeeze extra cash out of a customer after they've bought the hardware.
The manufacturer provides the warranty, and that should be the end of the story. For instance, if there's a 10-year warranty on a Corsair RM1000i, why would they suddenly decide to only give you five? Sure, sell it, but from what I can see in their workstation configurator, they're basically selling junk.
