Chaos in 1983 Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I wanted this 9800Pro from newegg for around $200...but I need it urgently before friday Nov 12th , and now it's out of stock on newegg.com... So I began looking for alternatives...and came up with some refurbs, I was wondering what exactly does refurbished mean? is there anything wrong with these cards? What exaclty comes with the card? ... anyone had experience with refurb video cards. This was the one I was looking for originally...

MindDrive Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 usually if they are "factory refurbished" they carry some sort of warrenty but usually its "shortened" like for instance - instead of say a year , mabee only 90 days or something ive seen some of those "factory refurbished" jobs and sometimes things are bent or put on upside down - its hard to say really but at any rate your taking a chance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
