Long story short I had my system broken down ready for spring cleaning, re-tim, redoing the hose system and didn't put the socket protector in... Cats + back claws + climbing + socket for traction = voided warranty - no post
I was looking at the Asus GeneZ (open box) for $128...

I'm no longer running my 9800GT so the third slot is pointless as it's too weak for PhysX and I stopped folding awhile ago. I have no PCI cards or x1 PCIe cards, just two 470s, and 4 sticks of ram.
I have no plans to go TRI-SLI, but I do plan to side grade into Ivy Bridge for benching, and will probably pick up IB once it comes out while I wait for a real next gen GPU and pick up one or two (max) of them once they come out later this year hopefully.
I don't use a case so size doesn't matter, I don't care for MSI (My AMD systems pop their vrms) or Gigabyte (Had a p67 UD4 at release and it was awful), and everything is water cooled.
Anyone seeing a better option for my needs, not looking to spend much over $150 on an open box item. Looking for a decent deal though that's why I'm shopping open box :thumbsup:
