Couple of questions. The open box motherboards only come OEM, they say the don't come with the accessories. As for the cables and such, I don't need any of those, all I want/need is the motherboard and the metal bracket that the ports poke out of. Do the open box motherboards come with these? Also, if the motherboard doesn't work can I RMA it? Or for open box products is it different?

it may not come with the I/O shield and isn't guaranteed to, all you are guaranteed to get is the motherboard, I got an open box motherboard once and all that was in the box was the motherboard, I've heard of people getting everything, just as if it was a new retail motherboard, it's a crap shoot really, but if you don't need any of the accessories they usually are a bargain...
 
Well I don't really need the back panel do I?

I've run a few systems without it, it really doesn't affect the system that much, I did end up buying the back panel at the online ASUS store for $15 shipped, I saved about $50 on the motherboard, so I was already ahead anyway...
 
Check their warranty policy for that specific item. It may be a case of manufacturer RMA / returns only. I work for a computer company that sells “open box” boards and it doesn't mean it comes with or does not come with a particular accessory. In most cases it is an RMA replacement from the manufacturer that cannot be sold as a “new” product. (In most of our cases).

Your best bet would be to call in about the item, and ask what it comes with. When customers contact us about open box items I can check for them and verify the contents of the box. Good luck!
 
I try to avoid open box stuff like the plague. It's bound to give you trouble, because someone has already tampered with it, and they sent it back for a reason. Also, it doesn't have the same warranty.
