You do realize that 90% of Fry's hardware is returned items? All the
hardware that gets returned either because it was deffective, or the
customer simply didn't want it, don't just get thrown away. I goes back to
the manufacturer and is ispected, refurbished, repackaged, and sold to big
outfits such as Fry's at a substantial discounted rates. When you go in and
buy these products they look new, and you would never know the difference.
In fact that motherboard that you bought has probably already been returned
by someone else.
