ASUS P6T deluxe v2 new or use?

[Guest]

I just bought my ASUS P6T deluxe V2 from 3Btech.com. Spent $300 bucks for a motherboard, ouch. No factory seals on box or anti-static bag. No sticker over memory slots. Found fingerprints on the stainless steel USB, LAN housing. It's suppose to be brand new!! One question I have, do these boards come with the brass posts or screws to mount on the ATX mid-tower? Is it worth calling the seller for a RMA? I spent a whole week waiting for this mobo. BTW, its my first time building a desktop pc. I get to enjoy the pride after putting it together.

I don't think it comes with mounting screws but it should have an sli bridge. Newegg has a pretty good picture of everything that comes in the box.

Sounds like an open box, they should give you at least $50 off. If you paid with a credit card you could probably stop the payment, but talk to 3Btech first. If everything is in the box and it works just ask for a discount, by the time you install it it'll be "used" anyway.

Always new is better, for warranty and support. Or you don't think buy and i7 used right?
