Just bought an Open box mobo..

you dont get that shield that goes in the back of the case that fits the mobo - thats the biggest SUCK part about it.

is it a biostar? I've emailed them and they've sent me that part before when I've requested free of charge.

Of the 4 mobos I've bought open box 1 was bad (well I think it is, it could be a power supply too) and the rest work like champs.

Shield? I don't think that's such a big deal...who the heck looks behind the pc anyway?

Oh did you not get the shield for all of your open box mobos? Wow, that kind of sucks, lol

Open box is only OEm guaranteed so they actually could send you a board with a heatsink missing or something if they wanted and they would not have to replace it. Open Box are a gamble as I purchased one and had to send it back because it was defective. However the majority of open box are good but yes you may not get everything you need.
