Has anyone ever ordered an open box item from new egg??

There are a few things I am interested in in that section but am alittle weary of ordering from there.

Mainly I am concerned because one item is a CPU. Its like 100 dollars off because of open box, Or do you think for something like a CPU I should save for another few months and get that part new??

Please help as I am doing a new egg order today.

ok, with my experience with newegg, they have AWESOME customer serive and product handling. With something like a CPU id be a bit weary as well, but trusting newegg, it may be worth it. as long as there is still a return policy attatched to the item id get it unless you dont want to deal with the possible hassle of returning it.

I have aftermarket cooling already lined up for the new cpu,

I sent them email and all return policies are effective on open box items. So I am thinking its ok to get it. I have never had to return anything to them so I did not know how they were with that. But if you are saying they are good in that area then I am gonna go for it.

I've ordered plenty of open box items from Newegg recently and it's been great other than two motherboards that failed on me. I think you're good to go with ordering op box items..just keep in mind that you usually don't get the full items from the retail. Since you say you're getting a CPU you may only receive the CPU without the fan etc. But overall you should have no worries at all.
