Anyone buy motherboard/cpu combos from Fry's Electronics?

[MuffD]

I see a good deal I can't seem to pass up but I've heard of stories that they give out used stuff. Is this true?

Feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

I've never bought their combos but I've seen several customers get in fights with employees, because they were out of stock.

i just bought a iwill kk266/thunderbirid 1.33/266 for $229. All the stuff I bought was new. The CPU box was open but that was to write down the serial #. They were out of stock but just got a huge shipment of the CPUs in. The iWILL board was still shrinkwrapped and did not have one of their return stickers on it.

I attempt to avoid Fry's now @ all costs due to this one employee constantly hitting on me :| -- he's not even cute! :disgust:

Sounds like it might be okay. I will go down there in a sec to see if they have any!!

the iwill and 1.2 ghz are $199 now. my friend got it last week at $219. his 1.2 did 1.4 out of box, default voltage with the stock fan and thermal pad. kk266 has worked perfectly

Cool. I'm not too much into overclocking as I don't really know what to do
It looks cool so far but I have to wait and see if my wife and baby will cooperate tonight so that I may perform an install

Everything in Fry's has been returned at least once(unless of course its software). Trying to find a brand new item in Fry's is an adventure.

This is actually new, sealed and never opened...suprisingly
