Open Box Purchase?

I don't see a problem with open box items.

I bought an open box AIW 9800 Pro once, and it still works on my server. That was 2 years ago, I think.

Haha, that's the memory I have. Won't post with DS3. But hey, it looks like great memory. I'm going to Fry's to get a cheap stick of DDR2 and I'm going to flash my BIOS. WHat is ur mobo?

There are four different categories the Newegg uses for thier products:

Retail - Nice and shiny packaged product. Just like in any store you walk into.

OEM - Bulk items that are new and generally do not have any of the accessories found in the retail version. Software and cables are examples of items left out.

Open Box - The item has been returned for whatever reason. The customer may not have been happy or worse, the product may be defective.

Recertified - An open box item that has been tested to ensure the product does work properly.

Im planning on getting a ds3 as well. I have some older ddr2 here PC4300.. Will i be able to boot up with those and change the settings?
