Although aleCcowaN disagrees, I gave you two such examples above.

el burofax (the singular form is accented on the last syllable)
los burofaxes (now the accent is on the penultimate syllable)
los burofax (as some dictionaries list the plural)
el telefax, los telefaxes

el moradux, los moraduxes (o los moradux)

When a polysyllabic word ends in 'x', there's no need for an accent mark over the vowel of the last syllable. Since that syllable ends in a consonant other than 'n' or 's', it is stressed.
