I have a MSi motherboard and had to return it to MSI RMA center. What does it mean when they say motherboards will be certified refurbished and if it's refurbished is it a good idea to get it like that or just not a good idea and just spend the money and buy a new one cause i never bought on that was refurbished before?

my motherboard went bad and i had to send it back into the company to get tested and possibly get a new one should i just get the refurbished one from them or just say forget it and buy a new one?

I'd look to another P67 or preferably a Z77, and from one of the Big Three - Asus, GigaByte or ASRock, more and more I look to the Rock, have prob around 75+ builds on their mobos and seldom any problems. MSI I don't and haven't touched for a while for new builds
