I thought a little honesty from a regular customer would be appreciated!


Apparently not enough :

I wouldn't expect them to honor the warranty, not on an open box item.

What is a open box item? Does Newegg.com open box items or does the original manufacturer?

Open Box items have been opened and touched and/or returned. Because they originate from different situations, they may or may not include accessories, documentation or retail packaging. Refurbishment is done by the manufacturer.
Open Box products are warranted for only 15 days. We recommend that you try out your open box product immediately after receiving it.

"Worth", like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Well, once I get my open box ASUS mobo, we'll see how it works out. Whether I never buy one again, or if I'm happy with what I got.

Guess where I'm posting from? Yay! 8800 GT is working like a champ and everything is up and running! It only came with the board, but it was brand-spanking new, no problems detected yet.
