You do realize you are just getting the MB and none of the cables,audio module, back plate or any other accessory

we will see, last time I got an open box MB from the egg they sent it to me in the retail box, anyway I have all that stuff except the back plate . No big deal to me since I saved some nice bucks, but thanks for the 411.

i got a p5b deluxe and it was bare board , used , had thermal paste etc. on it and box even had an rma# on it. but it worked.
My last open box on a Asus A8n32 was just the board with a wiped bios. I had to hot flash the bios in another computer but it worked in the end. Kind of frustrating, but I guess that's what I get for being cheap.
you got one heck of a deal, too bad they dont have any left.
Well for $256.00 I got the full retail box!! Backplate , Audio card, software, cables, fan, even the stupid key chain. Booted right up, I am at 1900 fsb testing memory right now.

Tell me about!!!! The Egg first listed it for $374.00 open box and while I was trying to decided if that was worth it I hit refresh and the price was $256.00, I had to jump on it!! I think they made a mistake

ummm no you are notWell for $256.00 I got the full retail box!! Backplate , Audio card, software, cables, fan, even the stupid key chain. Booted right up, I am at 1900 fsb testing memory right now.Divide by 4 and that is your FSB
Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

Modern Ram, makes an old overclocker miss BH-5 and the fun it was
People mix up "bus speed" with FSB all the time. Besides that.. That's a crazy deal. I would never touch that board, but you still gotta love that price and performance.

Again can someone explain why it´s such a good deal when you can get say 2x dfi experts for the price?
I know the expert is using the AMD platform and Nforce 4 chipset but why on earth pay 2-3 times the price for a striker instead of the other mainboards????

Yea I know it 475fsb x 4 , but thats how its listed in the Striker bios.ummm no you are not
I guess price is a relevant thing, there is no way I would have paid 409.00 plus shipping for this board(actual price at the egg), but they sellout at that price in minutes. And they go for even more on Ebay, so based on today's motherboard pricing 256.00 seemed okay to me.
Now I just need to find a deal on some 8800GTX's
