experience with NewEgg?

[shakarocks]

I took Alan's advice and ordered a refurb a7v 333 (don't need raid and I already have a firewire card) from NewEgg. I was tenative when a screen popped up saying that these were considered open box items and may not have all the parts. Does anyone have experience getting refurb mobo's from NewEgg? I would assume that ASUS will put in the proper stuff but I'm a little worried.

Anyway, I appreciate all the system advice in previous topics as it's been invaluable in helping me choose my new setup.

i would never buy any computer components refurbished, but i've bought tons of stuff from newegg and they've always had great prices and cheap shipping.

I would never buy refurbished either, especially a MOBO.

I like newegg but don't buy refurb motherboards.
I think tccomputers.com is also pretty good for mobo
purchases because they will test board/RAM/CPU/fan together and then ship it assembled even if you
don't buy a case, etc. Their prices are usually more
than newegg but not too bad.

Hi shakarocks-
I got a refirb Gigabyte board from them in May.
So far so good...
In fact, I picked up the board and an open box XP1600 for a little over $100 bucks. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Been a great system.
Just make sure you have everything else you'll need to put the system together so you can give it a good run durring the 30 day warrenty.
Good luck-
