Hi all,

Maybe someone can help me determine if I was sent a used or RMA'd motherboard. I just received my Bad Axe 2 retail (975XBX2KR) from Microcenter, and I noticed the packaging was kinda scuffy looking. No big deal I thought, and I opened up the retail box and saw that the cables, I/O template, manual and disks were all just rattling around free in the upper part of the box (seperated from the motherboard by cardboard). Nothing was individually wrapped or secured aside from the motherboard itself and the usb add on riser (which were both sealed in anti-static bags). No added cushioning either.

I'm guessing all this is normal, but it seemed odd for a premium board's retail kit, and I just thought I'd ask.
