^ $75 to fix. Found a jack that fits the case, but has a different plug. Had to buy the matching pair of jack/plug, and change the plug on my power supply. Cost me a whopping $3.99 for both parts.

Imagine if automotive shops acted that way. You could never buy parts for your car unless you got the shop that sold them to also install it, even if you have a "preferred" mechanic you like to use. Or if car stereo shops wouldn't sell you gear unless they installed it for you.
