MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM Socket 939 REFURB $70.00

[mi1stormilst]

Retail versions of these units are $128.00, I ordered one and then emailed MSI ... they are sending all the missings parts, IDE, SATA, USB, Cables ETC (-: Been running the unit overclocked for a week...rock solid.

Nice, I got this refurb for $110 a while ago

 

[JE78]

Nice find, i've been keeping my eye on this board for a few months now. Is MSI sending you the stuff free of charge??

How did you get MSI to send you this?

I have emailed them MANY times. They are the worst!!!! Have gotten nothing from them.

Yah, I "discovered" that my MSI K8T Neo2-FIR (K8T800pro) was not locking the AGP and PCI bus properly in theLATEST BIOS. Their response was to send me an email with a link in it to the latest BIOS with the words "Please you try update to latest BIOS". Since then (about 2 months ago) I have been checking that link every now and then to see if there is some new BIOS ready that fixes the issue. Nada, still the same BIOS I have currently.

Not extremely excited about their tech support.

 

[neonerd]

Their tech support may be lacking, but I've NEVER had issues with their baords...

I've been using their boards since the k7n2's, and no problems yet

 

[mi1stormilst]

Well I emailed there tech support and customer service telling them the board is useless without the parts...customer service sent all the part FOR FREE!

Is getting a refurb from newegg a pretty good deal? Anyone had any problems buying a refurb from them?

 

[TekDemon]

Dunno if we'd all have as good luck with MSI customer service as you though...and the board really would be pretty useless without all those parts lol

 

[mi1stormilst]

well since i bought a set from someone on the forums before MSI sent the other I have an extra set...so at least one of you can get hooked up (-:

I just need the i/o back panel for a neo plantinum 754 (I think the same as the 939)

Oooh...sooo tempting now...
My mobo has been going spastic lately and I need a replacement badly, and I was basically just debating on whether to wait for dualcore or not...

 

[Miramonti]

I've had one for about 4 months and am very happy with it (...a very abnormal mobo experience.)

Dual Core is HERE!!! Monarch Computers (-: Now just make a choice ...

Is there a secret hidden phone number or email to get the good msi customer support? Wierd how everyone's experience w/ them varies.

Nice board ZZF has a rebate going on right now if you don't want to buy a refurb:

[mrrman]

refurb mobo's scare me

 

[konakona]

just a thought, these might be one of those boards that are less likely to overclock well.

 

[OCedHrt]

Price dropped to $64.

 

[HossWTC]

This has already been asked, but for those who have received the accessories from MSI, what email or phone number did you use?
