[crowheart27us]

Just a heads up to those that are interested, Newegg has got a deal on open box Q6600 for $131.07(no heatsink)

Doesn't seem like a bad deal. (hopefully GO stepping)

It's definitely G0. They haven't made anything else for over a year now. That is an excellent deal to be sure - anyone in the market for a new computer should consider it.

Meh....Open Box. I usually never buy things open box no matter how much difference in terms of money. The new one is $190.00

Looks like it's been deactivated now. I'm not to sure about buying an open box processor, since someone could have messed it up with their overclocking experiments and just tried to RMA it while they could.

I purchased an open box Intel cpu from The Egg once. I packed it back up, returned it and bought NIB.

Around a dozen pins on the back had brown 'scorch' marks around them ...

^ LOL, burn marks on the pins. Hehe another reason I don't buy open box, but wait isn't that a LGA7750 CPU which means theres no pins?!?

It was a Cedar Mill Celly. My guess is someone purchased it with the same ideas in mind as me.

I ended up selling the rig before any suicide runs ... :lol:
