I have never see a problem with packing from newegg, oem or otherwise. This motherboard is the first thing I can remember being doa. And unfortunately I can't locate any board that offers as much as the asus did. Just have to use an asus desktop board from newegg it looks like. As for alternative sites I will say tigerdirect is just a painfull site to use. Which is why I won't shop there. I think zipzoomfly and pcconnection were the only sites I found with as detailed seach as newegg. ------Original Message------ From: Tom Metro Sender: discuss-bounces-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org To: David Kramer Cc: L BLU Sent: Feb 28, 2009 1:46 PM Subject: Re: Alternatives to newegg?

There might be some logic to this. What's the supposed connection? Items with expedited shipping receive rougher handling? I recall seeing a lot of recent drive reviews complaining that OEM drives were poorly packaged for shipping. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
