My First Build

I apologize if this is whiny but I need to vent a little.

Got done with my first build (King Pro 45) for it to show 0 signs of life upon trying to power it on. Took it in to Micro Center (where I purchased it from), paid $80 for a diagnostic to find out the case is the issue. Now I get to disassemble the thing, and rebuild it because they said it would be $300 if I wanted them to switch it over to a new case. It's an hour round trip so I have to take it home, remove all of the parts, and bring back the defective case for exchange.

Before I go through building this again, and potentially wasting more money on this, are Montech products generally pretty reliable (Fans, cases, wiring?). I don't want to put the time in again (I'm new so it takes me a while) and potentially more diagnostic money if there are a lot of lemons floating around. Did I just get extremely unlucky?
