refurbished mobo?

[jackjensen]

Any thoughts on buying a refurbished mobo from NewEgg? Obviously, looking to save money. Anyone have any experience, positive or negative, with them? TIA!

Mixed results. An abit bd7 had posting problems with my memory. But an asus p4s533 has performed almost flawlessly. I agree with newegg's recommendation that the installer be experienced and be willing to spend some extra time setting up the board. I flashed the bios 3 times to get everything stable. Nothing came with the board; usually I at least get a manual.

I got a Shuttle AK31 a while back. Works flawlessly.
