Newegg Open box ok?

[Guest]

Hi

I was planning to go for a gpu upgrade and because the open box cards were so cheap i was wondering if they were good to go for. All i need is the card.

Here's the four I was looking at.

Msi Twin Frozer II 6950 2gb - $217

Msi Twin Frozer III 6950 2gb - $225
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127575R

Msi Twin Frozer II 560 ti oc - $184
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127565R

Msi Twin Frozer II 570 - $262
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127564R

For some reason, they're all by Msi. The rest of the open boxes I didn't like as much. Unfortunately not of these are in stock yet... will buy as soon as they're back on stock.
I has around $270 to spend and price-wise I was thinking of going for the 560 ti oc and save $80. But I might also go to my max budget and get the nice 570 deal.

Is openbox ok? and which card would you recommend?

OMG! All but the 560 ti was deactivated !
Hopefully its not permanent and will be back in stock :/
Wait... lol. The 560 ti is in stock now. I might just go for that.
Do you guys think that it will be a good purchase? Could there be any problems with open box?

WAIT!! Another one appeared!
Msi twin frozer II golden edition - $205

Will spending an additional $21 for this card worth it?

I think they are all gone, but open box items are good. They still have factory warranty, and most have the 30-day from newegg.

Here is a rather large thread of collected experiences of Open Box items.
