Did mwave send me a screwed up motherboard?

Bent pin 1
Bent pin 2
Plus some fan connectors. These pins are hard to bend back, it took great force to bend them. Like boxs of hard drives where set on top on this board.

Why are these pins bent? Did some fat guy jump on the box? the box was in perfect condition, so im guessing the screw ball at mwave that put the board in the box is a idiot?

Its a ASUS P4B266-C in a Abit box because it is OEM.

heres the box
abit box
ups/fedex box

Was the bag sealed? Why would someone at newegg remove a retail board from the packaging? Looks like it was bent at Asus. Call newegg and get an RMA.

Edit:
or call Mwave. Your title and post do not match.

Did you try using the board or are you being anal about it from the start having decided that you won't use a board that has bent pins on it? I have recieved CPUs and boards with bent pins and after straightening them out the hardware works flawlessly.

1) is it mwave or newegg?
2) Is it abit or asus?
3) did you buy a refurbished board or new?

1) Mwave
2) ASUS P4B266-C
3) NEW OEM


I heard the oem was good so i got it, also mwave doesnt clearly state what version of the p4b266 they have for over $2 more so i didnt get it. Im gonna return this board and see if the next board comes back in better shape.
