all of a sudden i turn on the pc in the morning and no go, i tried switching the psu, no good.......tried a different cpu, no good, even different ram didn't help....nothing happens, no lights, no nothin.

its a p5b-e which i bought open box from newegg in january of this year....my question is, will asus fix it for me even though it came in a plain white box, this is what newegg says about open items.

This is our Detailed Open Box Item Return Policy. Newegg.com often sells items that are listed as "open-box." Because these items are sold at greatly reduced prices, they bear this limited 15-day refund-only return policy through Newegg.com. Such items can only be returned within 15 days of the applicable invoice date. Newegg.com cannot provide replacement service for these items, as their stock is limited. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of these items is with the buyer. These items have been tested for functionality, but may have superficial physical defects including (but not limited to) scratches, dings or dents. Should these items prove defective following their purchase, the buyer (not the manufacturer, distributor, or Newegg.com) assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing or repairs, unless otherwise required by law. These items are not covered by any 30-day satisfaction guarantee.

...any input would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, Asus will probably not cover this. That's the risk vs. reward scenario for open box items at Newegg. They are usually great prices, but if anything goes wrong, it's time to buy a new one.
