Refurbished or new?

[ABonel33smidget]

Just wondering about getting my mobo, on newegg they sometimes have refurbished mobos. Should I save the money and get a refurbished or spend the extra 20 dollars for a new one? ( the refuribished mobo I am asking is in my sig )

When getting computer stuff, I'd want new stuff... However, a motherboard might still be alright, seeing as there's nothing mechanical that could wear out(besides chipset fans)

For a computer to be used a good bit, I'd go new. Otherwise, I guess a refurb wouldn't be too bad...

Well if you are spending that much money on a system I would say just spend the extra $20 for a more reliable motherboard.

I think I will, and I do plan on using it alot... ( I only work 2-4 hours a day so I plan on being on the computer about 6-9 hours a day.. ) Thanks for all the replys

If it's only $20 cheaper, then go with the new.
