BFG 7900GT - Cards Might 'Burn Up' or Capacitor Fall Off

I am a huge BFG fan along with being a huge Nvidia fan all around... But it has come to my attention of an issue on a certain BFG graphics card. In this case I am talking about the 7900GT that they offer. Below I have listed the model # and info on the card.
BFG Tech BFGR79256GTOCE Geforce 7900GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16
Chipset Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Core clock: 475MHz
DirectX: DirectX 9
DVI: 2
Memory Clock: 1360MHz
Memory Interface: 256-bit
OpenGL: OpenGL 2.0
Pixel Pipelines: 24
RAMDAC: 400 MHz
TV-Out: HDTV Out
# Model #: BFGR79256GTOCE
The Issue:
There has been 100's of reports of these cards shipping with capacitors that have fallen off in the box, or than have fallen off once the card was taken out of the box. There is also reports of this card frying and causing system issues. Now I have to say I was one of the unlucky ones who got a 7900GT that fried on me whole in the middle of booting windows. I wish I would have taken images but I sent the card back for a prompt refund.
If you to are having issues with this card please let us know. I have already talked with BFG support and they know about the issue. My question is why haven't they put out a recall.
Below I have posted images of the Graphics card.

Hope they get this fixed...SOON!
Very much agree!
I hope this isn't a reflection of BFG's QA. 100's of bad cards will send their rep down the crapper fast. I would RMA that card even though they said its ok without the cap. If the card was ment to not have that cap, it wouldn't have been on the bard in the first place.
send it in. Who cares, you get a brand new card, or even a refund. Why risk your system when you can have a brand new card. And like others mentioned, what if you want to sell it later?
You are indeed a model citizen full of morals and high standards we can all live by.
Most cores dont sport non-volatile memory. It adds a lot of cost, for little benefit.
Well...that, and your usage of apostrophes
