I know. Reshrinking was part of my job at Office Depot. Hence my use of the word "seemed". I'm not saying the mobo was new, just that it wasn' obviously a return. Several items, like the fans, came in those damn bubble packs that are impossible to open without sharp implements (ideal near thin wires), so I'm pretty much certain they were new.
I'm not disagreeing with the idea they could be open box, refurbs, etc. Just that none were marked (though some items on the site are) and if they were repacks, it appeared to be a factory job (which could be refurb, I know). --Ben Sam wrote: > I had a friend that worked at a high end computer store years ago.
