Thanks for letting me know you saved money on the PC and that the warranty is still valid. Appreciate the info!
Who issued the warranty? If you were the seller and were aware of the damage, I wouldn't consider accepting a return.
For future use, most GPU fans stop spinning above a certain heat level, meaning they usually only run while gaming or similar tasks. It seems the computer might not show anything without a drive—likely it would still boot into BIOS. I’m not sure, but I definitely agree that this was a mistake, and we’ll learn from it. Hot plugging the GPU was another error we should avoid.
No reason you can't boot into BIOS without drives in the system.
