We do not have a Fry's, nor any other store that has an understanding that "you might be purchasing s**t parts"
so i wanted to clarify for those whom may not realize, there are credited stores out there who will stand behind their products.
if i even suspected a store of selling crap parts, i would not even enter the door.

Except at Fry's, there are times when I could buy an entire system (fairly decent specs) for less than $200. Trust me, I've done that before, and that computer worked fine for many years.
That's why I get lured back every now and then.
The more i read, the more i get the impression that this Fry's is like the "Big Lots" of computer stuff.
See, thats another animal all together if its true. I would know in advance that there is a strong possibility that some parts may be borked. Like what you would buy at a flea market.
If I knew that, then it would be ok, BUT if this store is on par with say, "Best Buy" then I would expect 100% quality, or my money back.
[addsig]I was confused, now I am not.
I was under the impression from the posts that the store was... corrupt in some way.
/my bad :/
[addsig]Hmm, I still believe that Fry's runs a shady business. I have purchased many products from them over the years, including the Radeon 9200 for my last computer.
They do have a nice return policy, but I just have to drive an hour to get it done. I don't appreciate the fact that they sell refurbished parts without notifying the customer beforehand.

Really? I've never been to one of those. Is this a California thing or maybe just an Oregon one?
Seriously, YES, I have seen things previously opened being sold, but I have never seen it done with the intent of selling a broken item.
Usually, it was because some other customer wanted to see if medium bloomers would fit their LARGE ass and opened the item to check. same with many other items.. to check color, or shape/size.. but the item is not broken.
I have yet to find any store in Arkansas that would knowingly sell an item that was returned "broken"

I was meerly stating some other cheesy PC shop names.
